State License Requirements
N/A

Colorado, like most other states, does not currently have a licensing process in place for salon managers. Salon managers do not need any certification to carry out management tasks, although some employers do prefer to hire managers with current cosmetology licenses. Postsecondary study in salon management can be helpful if you do not have work experience in the beauty industry.

The nice thing about not having to adhere to a licensure process for salon management is that you have more opportunities to focus on what’s important to you. We recommend completing the cosmetology license requirements through a program that includes business management courses for future salon owners. However, if you want to focus on makeup or nails, you can pursue the appropriate licensure for those areas as well, and open your own salon. If you do earn your cosmetology license, you will renew it every other year for a $35 fee.
