What the cosmetology exam usually covers

State cosmetology exams generally include a written theory portion covering infection control and safety, haircutting and styling, chemical services, skin and nail care, anatomy, and state laws and rules. Many states administer the theory exam through providers such as PSI, often based on NIC (National-Interstate Council) content, and pair it with a hands-on practical exam. Passing scores are commonly around 70–75%. Required training hours differ significantly by state, so verify your program hours, exam format, fees, and application steps with your state cosmetology board.
