Cosmetology Teachers

Cosmetology teachers are required to renew their registration every 36 months. All teacher registrations share a common expiration date of July 31st. In May of each year, the Department searches its database to determine which teacher registrations will expire on July 31st of the current year. Information is then mailed to the address of record notifying teachers that their registration is due to expire and what must be done to renew the registration. Teachers are responsible for notifying the Department of address and name changes.

The renewal fee, a copy of a current Oregon practitioner's license, and proof of completion of 30 clock-hours of approved continuing education must be returned with the renewal application. Please note that applicants must have a valid practitioner's license in a specialty area (barbering, hair design, esthetics, or nail technology). Contact the Oregon Board of Cosmetology or the Oregon Health Licensing Agency for details on how to obtain a practitioner's license.
