Cosmetology Practice Test

Will these practice tests cover the material for my state cosmetology certification exam?

Yes!  Our content was designed to cover the material present in all 50 states cosmetology certification exams.  We have had cosmetologists in every state study with our practice tests and pass their state exam.

Are the questions from real cosmetology exams?

The questions are not from real cosmetology exams due to copyright issues. However our subject matter experts have written questions that cover the same content that mimic the style of the real exam.

First Pass the Cosmetology Certification Exam

The Cosmetology Certification test for your state is most likely administered by the Cosmetology State Board.  This board administers the test to ensure that cosmetologists practicing in the given state are knowledgeable in safe practices and regulations relating to the profession.  Generally the cosmetology certification exam is a straightforward exam, with no trick questions.  Rather it is a content-based exam where you should be able to pass if you are familiar with the material and style of questions being asked.

When many cosmetologists crack open a book and start studying for the cosmetology exam,  they focus on hair, skin, nail and safety questions that hold true in any state.  However 10% of the exam is made up of regulations and business licensing questions that is specific to each state, so cosmetologists should make sure to find some local review material to master these concepts.   This information is generally easily found on the state cosmetology board web page.

The Beauty Industry

The beauty industry offers great opportunities for those seeking glamour and an artistic outlet.

Whether you focus on shimmering hair color creation, face-framing haircuts, smoldering make-up styles, or edgy acrylic nail designs, you are leaving your mark on those who pass through your chair, and hopefully building repeat customers who appreciate your sense of beauty and flare.  These satisfied customers are essential, since most beauty job incomes consist primarily of tips.  As cosmetologist’s skill and customer base increases, earnings will increase as well.

The beauty industry thrives with a team dynamic with a number of professionals offering a number of complementary services.  A successful cosmetologist will often specialize in a style or skill to differentiate themselves from the crowd and to provide appeal to a specific customer base.  Additionally, a cosmetologist must be flexible and adaptable to the times so that skills and styles reflect current knowledge and trends.

Cosmetologist Compensation

A cosmetologist’s compensation will vary based on a number of factors, including experience, specialty, compensation structure, and tips.  Salaries can range from just under $20k per year to as high as $90k per year.  Naturally the higher end of that range is represented by cosmetologists with a large amount of experience and responsibility, as well as a loyal customer base.  Cosmetologists just starting out will most likely earn a salary towards the lower end of the spectrum.

Though passing the state cosmetology certification exam is necessary, this will most likely not lead to higher earnings.  A cosmetologist must be skilled in their specialty and offering to bring in the tips and repeat customers.
