Licenses and official requirements

In many countries, it is necessary to obtain a license from the authorities before you can legally work as a hairdresser. These requirements change from place to place (indeed, each of the 50 United States has its own requirements!).

Our Hairdressing Distance Learning Course prepares you for official exams you must pass to obtain a license. We recommend getting information regarding requirements directly from the official office or hairdressing guild in your country.
