How Many Hours Does it Take To Graduate From A LA Aesthetics Program?

First, you will need to graduate from an esthetics program in Louisiana. The Board of Cosmetology requires that you have at least 750 hours of training at esthetician schools in Louisiana in order to qualify for a license. Your coursework will include topics like analyzing skin, discussing treatments, skin disorders, and makeup techniques. Although you only need the 750 hours to take the licensing exam, you may enroll in more comprehensive programs that will take longer to complete.

Exams & License

Your school will help you apply to take your licensing exam. There are three parts to this exam in Louisiana: the Esthetician National Exam, the Esthetician State Exam, and the Esthetician Practical Exam.

The National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology (NIC) written exam is taken on a computer, and covers theoretical and scientific subjects. It may ask about sanitation, human anatomy, skin care products, exfoliation procedures, and anything else pertaining to the skin.

The state exam is administered by the Louisiana Board and will cover state laws, rules, and regulations that concern estheticians. The practical exam is a hands-on test that will cover preparation for facial, skin and treatments, facial procedures, and makeup application. Once you have completed the exams with a minimum score of 70%, then you are eligible to receive your license in the state of Louisiana.

If you are ready to work as an esthetician in the exciting state of Louisiana, home to the cities of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette, then the first step is getting your license.
