How Minnesota oversees cosmetology schools

Verify the school’s current Board license and approved cosmetology course, then check what the exact campus says about its classes and costs.

Check the school’s license

The Minnesota Board of Cosmetology provides a public lookup for school licenses. Match the school name and license status to the campus you are considering. The Board says its public lookup is informational, not an official license certification.

Confirm the cosmetology course

A school may have approval for several different courses. The Board’s course-provider list helps distinguish the 1,550-hour cosmetology course from shorter or different disciplines. A school license or course listing alone does not tell you the tuition, class timetable, or whether a particular teaching site is currently enrolling.

Compare the exact campus before enrolling

Use each school’s current program, campus, and admissions pages to confirm where training takes place, the full price including required fees and supplies, available schedules, and future start dates. Our school profiles leave details unknown when the reviewed sources do not establish them.
