How to Become a Licensed Lash Artist in North Dakota

Thinking about starting a lash career in North Dakota? To professionally apply eyelash extensions in the state, you must hold a valid professional license. In North Dakota, lash services are included under both cosmetology and esthetics licenses. The right path for you depends on whether you want to provide a wide range of beauty services or focus more specifically on skincare and lash artistry.

Requirements for Lashing in North Dakota:

To legally perform lash services in North Dakota, you must obtain one of the following licenses:

Cosmetology License: Requires 1,500 hours of training. This program covers a full scope of beauty education, including hair, nails, skincare, and lash application, making it ideal if you want the flexibility to offer a broad range of services.
Esthetician License: Requires 600 hours of training that emphasizes facials, skincare, waxing, and lash services. This path is perfect for those who want to specialize in skincare and lashes without committing to the longer cosmetology track.

Steps to Becoming a Licensed Lash Artist in North Dakota

1. Enroll in a State-Approved Program

Determine which license aligns with your goals and enroll in a North Dakota-approved cosmetology or esthetics school that offers hands-on training and prepares you for the licensing exams. If you’re more focused, on lashing, then the esthetician license is the faster route; however, a cosmetology license can open more doors.

2. Complete Your Training and Pass the State Exams

After completing your required hours, you’ll need to pass North Dakota’s licensing exams. These exams include both a written theory portion and a practical demonstration of your skills.

3. Apply for Your License

Once you pass your exams, submit your application through the North Dakota State Board of Cosmetology. After approval, you'll be officially licensed to provide lash extension services in the state.
