What does a Student Permit allow a holder to do in a licensed facility?

A Student Permit allows a holder to shampoo and condition hair in a licensed facility. This is an important aspect of their training, enabling them to practice foundational skills that are essential in a real-world salon environment. Shampooing and conditioning are fundamental services that cosmetologists perform, and getting hands-on experience helps students learn how to properly care for and prepare hair for further services.

While performing hair coloring procedures, conducting skin treatments, or selling beauty products may be valuable skills for a cosmetologist, these activities typically require more advanced training or licensing beyond what a Student Permit allows. The focus of a Student Permit is to provide a safe training ground where students can master basic techniques under supervision, which is critical for developing their overall competencies in the field of cosmetology.
