What the real exam covers
State cosmetology boards test the national NIC-style written core. This course's 10 units follow that core:
- Infection control foundations — cleaning vs. disinfection vs. sterilization, EPA-registered products and contact times, and porous vs. nonporous items
- Safety, SDS & blood exposure — finding hazard and first-aid information in a Safety Data Sheet, safe chemical storage and mixing, and the blood-exposure sequence in order
- Hair care, design & cutting — porosity, elasticity, density, and texture, and choosing a cutting method for the shape you want
- Hair color & chemical texture services
- Skin care & facial services, nail care & services, and hair removal
- Electricity & light therapy, anatomy & physiology basics, and cosmetic chemistry basics
State exams and licensing rules vary — check your state board for your exam's exact requirements.
