Minnesota Esthetician License Requirements

Every decision you make in your esthetics career is specifically regulated by the Minnesota Board of Cosmetologist Examiners, from your choice of school to your place of employment. After you graduate from your skin care program and you are ready to start your career, you can take your Minnesota licensing exam.

The state of Minnesota maintains these esthetics licensing standards:
• $25 state exam fee, $35 theory exam fee, and $30 practical exam fee
• $195 licensing fee
• Fees paid by check or money order
• 600 hours of training required
• Tests administered by PSI in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese

Licensing standards are crucial in the beauty industry. If the industry does not regulate these career paths, any untrained person can call themselves an esthetician and weaken the beauty industry by providing inadequate, dangerous, and damaging care to clients. By having the same standards for all estheticians in the state, beauty professionals know that all estheticians meet certain training standards.
