Hey Georgia cosmetologists-in-training! Are you getting ready to take the cosmetology state board in Georgia? There’s a theory exam and a practical exam. We have information to help you pass!
The 90-minute Georgia Cosmetology Theory Examination is probably the scariest. It’s a timed, multiple choice test. You take it in a testing center on a computer. And during the test, an on-screen clock tracks the hours and minutes you have left to complete the test.
Um, NO PRESSURE. If you need a break, you can take one, but the clock counts down while you are on break. 😱
You also need to pass the GA Master Cosmetology Practical Examination. It’s 185 minutes. That’s a three-hour test. It covers hair curling, haircutting, chemical waving, highlighting, retouching, relaxing, and how to handle a blood exposure. Plus, of course, safety, sanitation, and disinfection.
You can schedule your GA cosmetology exam as early as 6 weeks in advance. You’ll have the best chance to schedule on your preferred test date if you schedule between 4 and 6 weeks ahead of time. So don’t wait!
But most importantly, don’t wait to get ready for this really important test. It’s your future: your license to practice cosmetology in the state of Georgia. It may be the most important test you’ll ever take. And, gotta tell you, you have to be prepared. We can help.

And don’t wear hairspray. Yes, you read that correctly. Don’t wear hairspray to your GA cosmetology exam. There’s a whole thing about NO HAIRSPRAY on the Georgia candidate information bulletin.
