# New Jersey barber license requirements

New Jersey's Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling requires a 900-hour approved barbering course, high-school equivalency and a Board examination for initial barber licensure.

Statewide license Reviewed October 2, 2026

## Credential requirements

### New Jersey barber license.

1.  #### Education
    
    Be at least 17, complete high school or its equivalent and complete a 900-hour barbering course at an approved school or qualifying public vocational program. The current rules do not list a separate entry apprenticeship-hour route.
    
2.  #### Exam
    
    Pass the examination conducted by the Board; written licensing examinations are scheduled through Prometric, and practical requirements are handled under current Board procedures.
    
3.  #### Experience
    
    School training is the normal initial route and does not establish a separate post-school experience requirement. A temporary permit may authorize limited practice while an examination is pending; it is not the final license.
    
4.  #### Application
    
    Submit the Board application or authorization to sit for examination, school transcript, high-school evidence, identification, photographs and fees; follow the Board's current criminal-history and licensing steps.
    

**Good to know:** New Jersey's out-of-state applicants must obtain a New Jersey license and pass the Board examination. A barber shop license and a cosmetologist-hairstylist license are separate credentials.
