What to Expect From a Esthetician Program in Texas

750 Education Hours

Required to earn a esthetician license

To complete your program and earn your esthetician's license, you'll need to complete 750 hours of training in a state-licensed beauty school. During your studies, you'll cover a wide range of topics relevant to working as an esthetician, including anatomy and physiology, product chemistry, common treatments, and sanitation and safety. Schools are advised to split the 750 hours across the curriculum as follows:

  • Facial treatment, cleansing, masking, and therapy: 225 hours
  • Anatomy and physiology: 90 hours
  • Electricity, machines, and related equipment: 75 hours
  • Makeup: 75 hours
  • Orientation, rules, and laws: 50 hours
  • Chemistry: 50 hours
  • Care of client: 50 hours
  • Sanitation, safety, and first aid: 40 hours
  • Management: 35 hours
  • Superfluous hair removal: 25 hours
  • Aromatherapy: 15 hours
  • Nutrition: 10 hours
  • Color psychology: 10 hours

It's important to verify your chosen school is licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Beauty schools are inspected regularly and are expected to meet a high standard of compliance–including providing separate areas for clinical work and instructional theory, monitoring student records, maintaining hygiene practices, and keeping their licenses renewed and up to date.

Estheticians in Texas aren't licensed to perform manicures. To do so, you must either complete 1,200 total hours of esthetician/manicure instruction or 600 hours of manicure instruction in addition to the hours for your esthetician license. If you already actively hold both licenses, you may upgrade to an esthetician/manicurist specialty license by submitting a completed application form and paying the non-refundable application fee of $50.

Can I Apprentice as an Esthetician in Texas?

Currently, it's not possible to train as an esthetician in Texas via apprenticeship.

Texas Esthetician Licensing Requirements

Once you've completed 750 hours of training at a state-licensed beauty school, you need to pass both written and practical exams to gain your esthetician's license. You must pass the written examination before you can sit for the practical examination. This eligibility lasts for five years, and you may re-take the test as many times as needed during this period–though you need to pay for each examination attempt separately. Written exams are $50 per attempt, and practical exams are $72.

Upon confirming your eligibility, the TDLR will contact you with instructions for scheduling an appointment to take the examinations, which are conducted by a third-party vendor (PSI) at many locations throughout the state. You can track your eligibility, progress, and exam results online at any time via the TDLR website.

Both exams are in English by default. However, you may be able to take them in Spanish of Vietnamese without extra fees. You may request to have the exam translated into other languages by contacting PSI and paying an additional cost. Additionally, all examination centers are equipped to provide access per the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and accommodations can be made to meet a candidate's needs.

On the day of your exam, you should arrive at the examination site 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment time with a valid photo ID and all necessary supplies and equipment, as specified in the exam bulletin.

The written examination covers 75 scored items in total and takes one hour and 45 minutes to complete. Candidates must achieve a 70% to pass. Points are divided across the following areas:

  • Licensing and Regulation: 11 questions (15%) on health and safety and responsibilities of the licensee
  • Infection Control: 19 questions (25%) on cleaning and disinfecting, implements, equipment, work environment, safety procedures, exposure incidents, patch tests, skin analysis, diseases, and disorders
  • Skin Care: 11 questions (15%) on physiology, skin analysis, skin types, and skin conditions
  • Facial Treatments: 19 questions (25%) on basic facial treatments

The practical examination covers 87 scored items in total and takes 1 hour and 55 minutes to complete. Candidates must achieve a 70% to pass. The exam covers a range of different practical tasks, in the following order:

  1. Pre-examination set up and disinfection: 10 minutes
  2. Eyelash strip application: 14 minutes
  3. Cleansing: 14 minutes
  4. Steaming: seven minutes
  5. Massage: 17 minutes
  6. Mask and moisturizing: 17 minutes
  7. Waxing with soft wax: 14 minutes
  8. Blood exposure incident: 12 minutes
  9. End of examination disinfection: 10 minutes

Once you've finished the exam, your grade will be handed to you at the testing center, along with a score report showing your strengths and weaknesses as demonstrated in the exam.

Texas Esthetician Licensure Reciprocity

If you’re an esthetician in another state, you may be eligible for reciprocity in Texas, meaning you can use your currently active license in the state after meeting eligibility requirements.

Eligibility requirements vary according to the state you originally trained in. Once you've confirmed your license can be reciprocated, you'll need to do the following to gain licensure in Texas:

  • Gather and submit the required documentation
  • Submit a completed Cosmetology License by Reciprocity Application Form
  • Pay a $100 non-refundable application fee

Special considerations are made for active-duty military, veterans, and military spouses.

Esthetician Specialties in Texas

Once you're trained and licensed as an esthetician, you may choose to specialize in specific areas of practice. This can also extend to non-cosmetology services, such as tanning, massage, and "medspa" services. For some medspa treatments, you need additional training.

For example, estheticians may specialize in exfoliation (removing dead cells from the surface of a client's skin) via microdermabrasion, which is commonly performed with a purpose-built device. Similarly, estheticians may specialize in removing excess accumulations of dead skin cells using "light" or "superficial" chemical peels, which are non-invasive and non-aggressive.

However, treatments going deeper to penetrate living tissue must be performed by licensed physicians only, and a standard esthetician's license would not cover this.

Esthetician License Renewal in Texas

2 Year

License renewal period

4 Hours

Continuing education required

In the state of Texas, all estheticians need to renew their licenses every two years. To renew, you must complete four hours of department-approved continuing education courses and pay a $50 renewal fee.

You can begin your renewal 60 days before your license expires, and your continuing education can be completed at any time in the two years before your license expires.

If you're 65 years old or more and have held an esthetician's license for at least 15 years, you only need to complete one hour of continuing education on the topic of sanitation.

If your license has been expired for more than 90 days but less than 18 months, it may be renewed by paying a $100 fee. The same applies if your license has been expired for at least 18 months but less than three years, though you may also need additional approval from the licensure board's executive director. If your license has been expired for three years or more, you must apply for a new license and take your exams again.

License renewal may take several weeks to complete, so don't wait to begin the process–you cannot work as an esthetician in Texas once your license has expired.
