Cosmetology in Arizona

Arizona licenses cosmetologists through the Arizona Barbering and Cosmetology Board. Unlike most states it does not use PSI — the exam program is run by Professional Credential Services (PCS) through IQT, using NIC content. The theory exam has 110 items (100 scored) and you need a score of 75 to pass, plus a written practical exam. You need 1,600 hours of cosmetology training. Arizona's official candidate handbook makes no mention of any exam language other than English, so we don't claim a Spanish exam; our multilingual practice questions are a study aid.
