Cosmetology in Georgia

GA Secretary of State — Board of Cosmetology & Barbers

Georgia licenses cosmetologists through the Secretary of State's Board of Cosmetology and Barbers, with the exam administered by PSI using NIC content. You must pass both a written (theory) exam — 110 items, 100 scored, reported as a scaled score (no published passing percentage) — and a practical exam. A Master Cosmetologist license requires 1,500 school hours. Georgia's official PSI bulletins do not state the written exam is offered in any language other than English, so we don't claim a Spanish exam; our multilingual practice questions are a study aid.
