About Us

Board of Cosmetology is an independent directory built for one purpose: helping cosmetologists, estheticians, and nail technicians quickly find accurate information about their state licensing board. We organize contact details, license requirements, renewal deadlines, and reciprocity rules by state so you can find what you need without digging through multiple government websites.

Every state page includes the details people actually need — training hours, exam providers, license fees, renewal periods, and continuing education requirements — along with a direct link to the official state board for anything that requires an official transaction, such as applying for or renewing a license.

We also publish a small set of general reference guides covering common topics — license requirements, reciprocity, license lookup, renewal, continuing education, and apprenticeship programs — so you can get a quick answer without leaving the site.

Board of Cosmetology is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any state government or licensing board. We're an independent publisher, and our listings are compiled and maintained separately from any official state system. For official business — applying for a license, submitting continuing education credits, or paying a renewal fee — please visit your state board's official website.

Spot a contact detail, fee, or requirement that looks out of date? We'd like to know — visit our Contact Us page and send us the details.
