How to Become a Licensed Lash Artist in Delaware
Thinking about becoming a lash artist in Delaware? To legally offer lash extension services in the state, you must be licensed as either a cosmetologist or esthetician. Lash extensions fall under both of these regulated professions, so it’s important to choose the right path based on your goals and the kind of beauty services you’d like to offer. Here's a breakdown of how to get started:
Choosing Your Licensing Path
Delaware recognizes two licensing options that allow you to apply lash extensions:
-
Cosmetology License: Requires 1,500 hours of training and includes education across hair, nails, skincare, and lash applications. This is a broader license for those looking to offer a full range of beauty services.
-
Esthetician License: Requires 600 hours of training focused on skincare treatments such as facials, waxing, and lash extensions. This is ideal for those who want to specialize in skin and lash services.
Steps to Becoming a Licensed Lash Artist in Delaware
1. Enroll in an Approved Cosmetology or Esthetics School
Start by joining a state-approved program in Delaware. Make sure your chosen school includes instruction in lash extension techniques, sanitation, safety, and client care as part of the curriculum.
2. Pass the Required Licensing Exams
After completing your required training hours, you’ll need to pass both a written and practical exam administered by the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation.
3. Submit Your License Application
Once you’ve passed your exams, submit your license application along with proof of training and exam scores to the state. After approval, you’ll be officially licensed to offer lash extension services in Delaware.
