Phase I is the estimated time between receipt of a completed application (online or paper) and the Board’s initial review of the application and supplemental documentation. Initial review consists of ensuring all documents have been received, but not necessarily reviewed. At the conclusion of Phase I, the Board will email you instructions regarding how to complete the Criminal History Record Request process, and advise you of any application deficiencies such as a photo, exam scores, educational evaluation, experience document if applicable, and verification of other jurisdiction licensure, if applicable.

Private School Graduates
4-6 weeks
Vocational School Graduates

Phase II is the estimated time between Phase I, receipt of any remaining application deficiencies and completion of work in a salon for 30 days (if required). Applications with criminal history or requiring additional review may add additional time to Phase II. Please note Phase II is contingent on applicant action. The estimated timeframe assumes the applicant takes immediate action when notified of application deficiencies.
