What must an applicant do to re-activate an inactive cosmetology license?

To successfully reactivate an inactive cosmetology license, the applicant is required to complete specific continuing education hours, submit an application, and pay the necessary fee. This combination ensures that the applicant is up to date with current practices and regulations in the cosmetology field, which is essential for maintaining public safety and professional standards.

Continuing education hours help ensure that licensees are informed about the latest techniques, products, and laws relevant to their practice. By requiring an application submission, regulatory bodies can verify the applicant’s past licensure and any associated records. The payment of a fee is a common requirement in the licensing process, covering the administrative costs involved in processing the reactivation.

This holistic approach ensures that all aspects of licensure are addressed and that the cosmetologist is prepared to provide safe and effective services upon reactivation of their license.
