Cosmetologists are licensed beauty professionals who offer a wide range of services such as hair cutting, coloring, styling, skin care, and nail treatments. They consult with clients, recommend products, and help clients look and feel their best in salons and spas.
To work as a Cosmetologist in New Jersey, you must complete a state-approved cosmetology program, pass the state licensing exam, and obtain a license from the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling. Licenses are renewed every two years; continuing education is not currently required by the Board for standard renewal.
