# Utah cosmetologist/barber license

Utah combines the broad cosmetology and barber scope in one credential and requires 1,600 approved school or apprenticeship hours plus NIC theory and practical examinations.

Statewide license Reviewed October 2, 2026

## Credential requirements

### Utah cosmetologist/barber license

1.  #### Education
    
    Complete 1,600 hours in an approved cosmetology/barber school or approved apprenticeship. The combined credential covers barbering, hair design, basic esthetics, nail and related services; narrower specialty licenses are also available.
    
2.  #### Exam
    
    Pass the NIC theory and practical examinations at the required score, generally 70%, and complete any Utah law or rule component required by the Division.
    
3.  #### Experience
    
    No prior experience is required after approved Utah training. Endorsement applicants generally document an equivalent credential and at least one year of practice when the Division requires the experience review.
    
4.  #### Application
    
    Apply through the Utah Division of Professional Licensing with graduation or apprenticeship verification, exam results, fee, identity and any out-of-state license and experience verification.
    

**Good to know:** Utah offers theory examinations in Spanish under current testing information; a 2025 review recommendation did not itself change the 1,600-hour statute.
