Eyelash Extension Certification in Iowa

Eyelash extensions are done to enhance the length, fullness, curl, and thickness of natural eyelashes. To get certified in Iowa for eyelash extensions, the requirements are as follows.

LICENSE

You must have a cosmetics license to become a certified eyelash stylist. The license is issued by the Iowa Board of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences.

Attending a cosmetology school meets the educational requirements for a cosmetology license. The school must be approved by the Board of Directors and you must complete 2100 hours there. Visit the board website for a list of approved cosmetology schools.

The cosmetology school gives you both practical and theoretical classes and prepares you for the exam license and career as a cosmetologist.

NIC COSMETOLOGY EXAM

You must pass the National-Interstate Council Cosmetology Exam in Iowa. You must achieve at least 75% to qualify for licensing. The exam consists of two sections:
