For waxing services, which license is acceptable?

For waxing services, both a Cosmetology license and an Esthetics license are valid and acceptable in Minnesota. The state recognizes that both licenses provide sufficient training and knowledge related to the techniques, safety, and sanitation practices necessary for performing waxing services.

Having either license ensures that the practitioner is equipped with the essential skills to safely and effectively provide these services to clients. The Cosmetology license covers a broader area, including hair, nails, and skin, while the Esthetics license has a more focused curriculum on skin care and related services. This versatility allows both types of licensed practitioners to offer waxing services legally and competently.

Understanding the qualifications associated with each type of license helps professionals navigate their legal scope of practice in the beauty industry, ensuring they remain compliant with Minnesota Cosmetology laws and rules.
