Wisconsin’s hairdressing license is the perfect accomplishment for someone who wants a career in the hair business. Beauty school allows people the ability to receive a hairdressing license. Beauty school teaches students everything they need to know about the hair industry to succeed. Students learn how to cut and style hair as well as learning to communicate properly with clients. These skills are needed to be a successful, professional hair stylist to help students reach their career goals. Once a student graduates and passes the state exam, they will have mastered skills and experience to bring to a variety of job opportunities. Wisconsin has certain state requirements needed to obtain a hairdressing license.
Students in Wisconsin are required to obtain 1,800 hours of beauty school from an accredited school approved by the Wisconsin State Board. Wisconsin also requires students to have a high school diploma or G.E.D. If applicant does not have either, they may take and pass the Ability to Benefit Test. A general requirement of a hair stylist is creativity, being able to create exactly what the client wants as well as giving them style suggestions and advice.
In order to be granted reciprocity, the applicant must have 4,000 hours of work experience. If they do not, the applicant must attend beauty school in Wisconsin to have license in Wisconsin.
In Wisconsin, hair stylists typically make an average of $22,000 a year. This is just the average calculated salary. One can exceed that salary through experience and hard work.
