Before you choose a cosmetology school in Maine
Every state licenses cosmetologists and sets its own required training hours, so a program must meet your state board's hour requirement to let you sit for the licensing exam. Check the state board first.
- Does the program meet my state board's required hours?
- What is the board exam pass rate for graduates?
