Important
Arkansas cosmetology licensure currently requires a written examination, a state law examination, and a practical examination. The Arkansas Department of Health’s cosmetology materials direct candidates to the Candidate Information Bulletins for each exam type, and the Arkansas cosmetology law states that examinations include a written core and law test and a practical test. Arkansas also uses PSI for written exam administration and the state FAQ references completion of the written, State Law, and practical exams.
