Statewide license Reviewed October 2, 2026

## Credential requirements

### Massachusetts barber license.

1.  #### Education
    
    Complete 1,000 hours in an approved barber school or program. The current Board information and 240 CMR 8 do not state a separate entry apprenticeship-hour option.
    
2.  #### Exam
    
    Pass the PSI written theory examination for barber licensure.
    
3.  #### Experience
    
    The entry route is school-based and has no separate post-school work period in the current rule.
    
4.  #### Application
    
    Submit the Board or Department application, school completion record, examination authorization and score, identification and fees.
    

**Good to know:** Applicants licensed elsewhere may use an equivalency or out-of-state review; it is not an automatic waiver. Confirm the Board's current application path.
