Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners

The Augustus Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling board licenses and regulates barbers, beauticians, cosmetology-hairstylists, manicurists, skin care specialists, teachers, shops and schools and registers students who attend these schools. 

The Board protects the public by:

• making sure that cosmetologists and hairstylists meet all educational requirements for licensure;

• investigating and prosecuting cosmetologists and hairstylists who have broken the state's consumer protection laws; and

• requiring all cosmetologists and hairstylists to be licensed by the state and to renew their licenses every two years.
