Kentucky Cosmetology License Requirements

Modern Salon Learning is approved provider of cosmetology continuing education in the state of Kentucky.

- Additional courses are in the process of being submitted for approval.

Credit Hours Required:
The renewal of certain licenses requires proof that continuing education requirements have been met.

• Cosmetologists, Nail Technicians and Estheticians must complete six (6) hours annually 
• Instructors must complete eight (8) hours annually (in addition to the 6 hours required for their cosmetology license for a total of 14 hours)

All licenses must be renewed beginning July 1 through July 31 of each year. If the license renewal is not received in the board office or postmarked by July 31 the license is expired and the appropriate restoration fee must be paid. There are no exceptions to this requirement.

An expired license can be restored provided the license has been expired for less than five (5) years. If the license needing to be restored lacks the Continuing Education requirements associated with a renewal, the requirements must first be reached before restoration or the license can be restored into an inactive status.

To restore a cosmetologist, nail technician, or esthetic license that has been expired for a period exceeding five (5) years, the statutes require the individual to apply and successfully complete the respective practical examination.
