Cosmetology in Georgia

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.

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.
