Arizona is now the first in the nation to issue a cosmetology license, allowing beauty professionals to work across 13 participating states without having to take additional exams.
Frank Migali is the Executive Director of the Arizona Barbering and Cosmetology Board.
“Instead of obtaining and maintaining separate licenses in every participating state, the professional has one multi-state credential issued through their home state,” he said.
Migali says the benefits of practicing under one license are saved in time and money.
“So think of it as similar to your driver's license. One credential recognized across participating jurisdictions.”
The participating states are:
- Alabama
- Arizona
- Colorado
- Delaware
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- Maryland
- Ohio
- Pennsylvania
- Tennessee
- Virginia
- Washington
- West Virginia
“Our professionals increasingly don't think about their careers in terms of one geographical location, right? Every additional state can mean another application, another fee, an educational requirement, examinations, and continue in education. The compact reduces those administrative barriers,” Migali said.
Migali says as of Sept. 11, the board has issued two multistate licenses, and nearly 20 more are in the review process.
