How to Become a Licensed Lash Artist in New Hampshire

Thinking about launching a career as a lash artist in New Hampshire? If you want to legally apply lash extensions in the state, you’ll need to hold a valid cosmetology or esthetics license. The right path for you will depend on whether you want to offer a full range of beauty services or focus on skincare and lash applications.

Requirements for Lashing in New Hampshire:

To provide lash extension services in New Hampshire, you must complete one of the following licensed training programs:

Cosmetology License: Requires 1,500 hours of training. This broad program includes instruction in hair, nails, skin, and lashes – ideal if you're interested in offering multiple beauty services or working in a full-service salon.
Esthetician License: Requires 600 hours of training. Focused on skincare, facials, waxing, and lash services, this route is great for those who want to specialize in lashes and skincare without the additional hair or nail training.

Steps to Becoming a Licensed Lash Artist in New Hampshire

1. Enroll in a State-Approved Program

Choose between a cosmetology or esthetics program depending on your career goals. Be sure the school is licensed by the New Hampshire Board of Barbering, Cosmetology, and Esthetics and offers practical lash training that includes sanitation, client safety, and lash application techniques.

2. Complete Your Training and Pass the State Exams

After meeting the required training hours, you'll need to pass New Hampshire’s licensing exams. These exams typically include both written and hands-on components to test your knowledge and application skills.

3. Apply for Your License

Once you’ve passed your exams, you can apply for your license through the state board. Be ready to provide proof of training completion and exam results.
