How to Become a Licensed Lash Artist in Georgia
Want to become a lash artist in Georgia? If you’re planning to offer lash extension services professionally, the state requires you to be licensed as either a cosmetologist or an esthetician. Both licenses are valid paths to lashing legally, but they differ in training requirements and curriculum. In this post, we’ll cover what you’ll need to know about getting licensed in Georgia.
Requirements for Lashing in Georgia:
Georgia gives you two options when it comes to licensing for lash extensions:
-
Cosmetology License: Requires 1,500 hours of training and includes instruction in a wide range of beauty services like hair cutting, coloring, nails, skincare, and lash application.
-
Esthetician License: Requires 1,000 hours of specialized training focused on skincare, waxing, facials, and lash extensions. This path is great if you want to focus more on skincare and lash services.
Steps to Becoming a Licensed Lash Artist in Georgia
1. Enroll in a State-Approved Training Program
You’ll need to complete your hours through a Georgia-approved cosmetology or esthetics school. Make sure your program includes hands-on lash extension training along with safety and sanitation education.
2. Pass the Georgia Licensing Exams
After completing your required hours, you’ll need to pass both the written and practical exams administered by the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers.
3. Apply for Your Professional License
Once you’ve passed your exams, submit your application with proof of training and test results to the state board. Once approved, you’ll be officially licensed and ready to offer lash services in Georgia.
