How to Become a Licensed Lash Artist in Vermont

Thinking about launching a career in lash artistry in Vermont? If you want to professionally apply lash extensions, you’ll need to hold a valid license. In Vermont, lash services are covered under both cosmetology and esthetics licenses. The best path for you depends on whether you’d like to offer a full range of beauty services or focus solely on skincare and lashes.

Requirements for Lashing in Vermont:

To legally perform lash extension services in Vermont, you must complete one of the following state-approved training programs:

• Cosmetology License: Requires 1,000 hours of training. This well-rounded program covers everything from hair and nails to skincare and lash application. It’s ideal if you’re looking for flexibility to provide various beauty treatments.
  
  

• Esthetician License: Requires 600 hours of training focused primarily on skincare, facials, waxing, and lash services. This is a great option if you want to specialize in skin and lash work without the broader curriculum of cosmetology.

Steps to Becoming a Licensed Lash Artist in Vermont

1. Enroll in a State-Approved Program

Decide which license aligns better with your career goals and find a Vermont-approved cosmetology or esthetics school that offers hands-on training and prepares you for the state exams. Be sure to choose a program that covers lash application techniques if you plan to specialize in lash services.

2. Complete Your Training and Pass the State Exams

Once your training is complete, you’ll need to take and pass the required exams. These include both written theory and practical components to test your knowledge and skill set, ensuring you're ready to perform services safely and professionally.

3. Apply for Your License

After passing your exams, submit your application through the Vermont Office of Professional Regulation. Once approved, you’ll be officially licensed to offer lash services in the state.
