How to Become a Licensed Lash Artist in South Carolina
Thinking about launching your lash career in South Carolina? If you’re looking to legally offer eyelash extensions in the state, you’ll need to hold a professional license. In South Carolina, lash services are included under both cosmetology and esthetician licenses. The best route for you will depend on whether you want to specialize in lashes and skincare or offer a broader range of beauty services.
Requirements for Lashing in South Carolina:
To provide lash extension services in South Carolina, you must complete one of the following state-approved training programs:
-
Cosmetology License: Requires 1,500 hours of training. This program offers in-depth instruction in hair, nails, skincare, and lash application, perfect if you’re pursuing a full-service beauty career.
-
Esthetician License: Requires 450 hours of training focused on skincare, facials, waxing, and lash services. This is an efficient option if you want to specialize in esthetics and lash artistry without completing a full cosmetology curriculum.

Decide which license path suits your goals, then register with a South Carolina-licensed school that offers the required training hours and practical experience in lash application.
2. Complete Your Training and Pass the State Exams
