Examination

**Graduates take a state licensing exam.**The exam includes a written test and may include a practical skills test or oral exam.

### Barber and cosmetology credentials may overlap, but are not interchangeable everywhere

Some states credit training between the two fields or combine licenses, while others keep distinct requirements. Verify the credential that covers the services you intend to perform.
