Barber in Georgia
Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers
Georgia licenses barbers through the State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers, with the written theory exam delivered by PSI using NIC content. The exam is the NIC National Barber Theory test — 60 items (50 scored) in 90 minutes. The official board FAQ states the exam must be passed in English — Georgia does not offer the written barber exam in Spanish or other languages. A Master Barber license needs 1,500 school hours (a Barber II needs 1,140). NIC reports a scaled score rather than a published percentage, so we don't quote a pass %. Our multilingual practice questions are a study aid; the real Georgia exam is in English.

State rules and fees change often. This table shows only facts confirmed from an official board or vendor source on the date noted; anything unconfirmed is marked “to confirm.” Always verify current requirements with your state board or its testing vendor before you register. Our practice questions are a study aid and never imply your state offers the exam in a language it does not.
