Prospective cosmetology students usually need to have a high school diploma or GED. This may be a requirement to enroll in the cosmetology program, or it might be part of the state's requirements to become a licensed cosmetologist. Cosmetology training programs are sometimes available at high schools.
Licensing Requirements. All states require that cosmetologists be licensed. This usually entails graduating from a state-approved program and completing a state licensing exam. Cosmetology education programs usually state that their courses meet state licensing requirements, and they may include the cost of the test in their tuition. The cost and content of the exam varies by state, but it normally includes both a written and a practical component.
