Applicants for the temporary eyelash technician license must be at least sixteen (16) years of age and have a 9th grade education or equivalent.
To obtain a temporary license, applicants must submit an application to the Board. By submitting an application you are acknowledging that eyelash technician services may only be performed in a Board registered salon or barbershop. Eyelash technicians intending to operate in their own facility may Apply for an Original Salon Permit or Apply for an Original Shop Permit at any time.
Temporary license holders will be able to renew that license for one additional year while working toward their standard license. Lash technicians will be expected to complete the Board-approved training and pass the State Board exam to receive a standard license, with more details to be announced in 2026. Lash technicians who do not receive a temporary license by December 31, 2026 will need to refrain from practicing until they fulfill the requirements of the standard license, including training and exam requirements.
Note: This is a temporary license, a means of working while awaiting examination and licensure. If you currently hold an active cosmetologist or esthetician license, you do not need to apply for this temporary license.
