How North Carolina oversees cosmetology schools
Start with the Board’s licensed-school information, then verify the full cosmetology route and physical teaching campus before comparing costs or schedules.
Check the Board’s licensed-school list
The North Carolina Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners links a licensed-school list. That document is a mailing list: its address may be a contact address rather than where students train, and its school code is not itself proof of a current full cosmetology program.
Distinguish the full cosmetologist route
The Board lists 1,500 hours for a cosmetologist curriculum. Its apprentice cosmetologist and specialty routes have different requirements, so compare the precise program a campus currently offers rather than treating every cosmetic art school as a full cosmetology school.
Confirm the exact teaching site and price
Use the school’s current campus and program pages to confirm its training address, required hours, tuition and fees, class schedule, and next start. The Board also offers a school-license verification search; check it before enrolling if status is material to your decision. Our directory leaves unverified comparison facts unknown.
