Whether you are a person (or an organization) who wants to open a cosmetology school or an aspiring student who desires to develop a career in the cosmetic industry in the state of California (in cities like San Jose, San Francisco, or Los Angeles), it is of your advantage if you are aware of the requirements imposed by the government to acquire a license to operate in the area. This will help you to ensure that you are on the right track and, at the same time, you can avoid potential trouble in the future. For instance, as a business owner, you will avoid issues concerning legalities; as a student, it will help you to choose the most qualified cosmetology school in this state.
So, what are the requirements that need to be complied with when you plan to open a cosmetology school? Here are the specifics as provided by the state's Board of Barbering and Cosmetology:
Obtain a provisional approval from BPPE - the first step would be to contact the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, which is the one who gives provisional approval after examining your application.
Complete requirements for the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology - with this, you will need to provide/comply a number of requirements including: an application for Cosmetology School Approval; provisional approval (which is obtained from BPPE); floor plan demonstrating room for equipment and floor space necessary for at least 25 students; comply the minimum equipment requirements for a school of Cosmetology as specified in California Code of Regulation section 940; a list of 25 full time students; and a curriculum for the full cosmetology course.
A board inspector conducts an on-site inspection - when the requirements above have been complied, the next thing you need to do is to let a board of inspector make an on-site inspection of your school. When your school passed the standards, you will be issued with a school code, which is to be obtained before starting a school operation.
Above are the core requirements that need to be complied when you plan to operate a cosmetology school in California. There are, of course, some other requirement which is specific to an area or city so make sure you check those as well by contacting the authority - most especially if you intend to have it in a big city like San Jose or Los Angeles.
