All states require that Cosmetologists be licensed. In Michigan, applicants must
have completed at least the 9th grade or the equivalent, be at least 17 years old,
have a minimum of 1,500 hours of training in a state-approved school, or have
completed a two-year apprenticeship. Applicants must also pass a written and
practical exam.

To become a limited Cosmetology Instructor, the student must take an additional
course of study (500 hours) and be a high school graduate. Applicants for a full
Instructor's license need either three years of shop experience or one year of
experience and two years of teaching. Applicants for Instructor's licenses must
also pass written, practical, and oral exams.

Fees for both Cosmetologists and Instructors are $10 for application processing,
$25 for the complete examination, and $24 for the 2-year license. Licenses must
be renewed every two years. Licensed Cosmetologists must have one year of
experience before managing a salon.
