1) Application and Initial Consultation
The first step is to submit an application: send us a message in any messenger or fill out the online form. A License.US manager will contact you for a free consultation to learn about your experience, education, and professional goals. At this stage, we gather all necessary information to create your individual strategy.
2) Case Analysis and Evaluation of Chances
Our specialists carefully review your documents and work experience. We select an individual strategy based on the data provided. This allows us to assess risks in advance and prepare a clear plan for successful approval.
3) Document Preparation
We compile a complete package of documents, including translations, confirmation of work experience, and all other required papers. The documents are prepared so that the Cosmetology Board staff receive a clear and transparent case without unnecessary requests for additional information.
4) Submission and Support
We send the prepared package of documents to the Cosmetology Board and continue to support you at every stage. You can focus on your career and working with clients while we handle the licensing process. We respond to all Board requests, clarify details, and ensure the process goes smoothly without delays or bureaucratic obstacles.
5) Obtaining the License
IMPORTANT: Even after our cooperation ends, we are always ready to continue supporting our clients with any questions - such as license renewal, changes to personal data, obtaining a salon license, or licenses for additional services (massage, permanent makeup, electrolysis, and more).

The timeframe depends primarily on your specialty, the state where you need the license, and the set of your “starting” documents. Each state has its own rules and conditions.
Our specialists know the requirements of every state and have experience submitting different types of cases. The specialist who works on client cases is an experienced lawyer and professional in the field. If you have experience and education obtained before coming to the U.S. and choose our service “Full Support WITHOUT EXAM”, the average processing time is about 2 months.

If you do not have experience or education in the specialty, you will need to study at a beauty school in your state, pass the exam, and thereby confirm your knowledge in order to obtain a license.
If you have education but no experience, you will most likely need to prepare for and pass the exam as well.
You should contact us for a free consultation, because even unofficial experience can be confirmed. Trust the specialists! Every case is individual. Most likely, you do have a chance - you just don’t know how to use it yet!

According to Board statistics, the most common reasons are:

• improperly prepared documents;
• insufficient number of documents;
• errors in forms or applications;
• open criminal cases;
• fines for illegal practice;
• revoked licenses in any U.S. state, etc.

A denial may seem like the end of the road, but in reality, it’s just the next stage that requires a competent approach and thorough analysis.
The License.US team is ready to support you at every step! We will provide a detailed review of the reasons for denial and develop a strategy to resolve the situation successfully. We do not view denial as a fatal outcome - it’s an opportunity to correct mistakes and increase your chances of success in the future.

The cost of our services is calculated individually and depends on many factors - including your initial set of documents, your experience, and your state.
Our company offers unique solutions for each client (installment plans, discounts).
After evaluating your chances, you will receive a full cost calculation and detailed information about the licensing options available specifically in your case.

Yes, absolutely. We regularly provide promotions and discounts to make obtaining a license in the U.S. faster and easier! You can learn more about our promotions in this post on Instagram.
Please note: the number of cases with installment payment plans is limited each month.
