  1. Study part 4 online. See what chapters you are weak and study them. Do not take the exam if you score under 95% on any practice test online. Do not use notes/book to take practice tests. Don't waste time on the answers you get correct.
     
  2. Wait for email saying you approved before Nov 1, 2024. Gather your supplies for the practical exam and practiced laying odorless acrylic sculpted nail and practice knowing the soak time for a removal. 
     
  3. Notify me when you get the email to send you the email with a login link. I will check everyday to see if you approved to send you the email first. 
     
  4. Pay $86 to take the Theory Exam at PSI's exam website. You can't (and do not try to) pay until you get the approval email first. Double accounts will create delays. You can pay for both the practical and theory (to book the practical later). 
     
  5. Pass the Theory Exam. You can take a failed theory exam as early as the next day for $86. 
     
  6. Reach out to me when you passed the theory exam to get an email to see the current informative video about the practical exam steps. Pay PSI $86 to book your practical exam when you know you can take it after step 7 next. 
     
  7. Practice the steps for the practical exam. Reach out to me with questions as you practice. Reach out to me to schedule a video chat or last class here to check your supplies to be bagged correctly and answer questions. Do this 5-30 days before your practical exam date.
     
  8. Pass the practical exam. Failed exams is new supplies and $86 to try again on their next open Monday date. 
     
  9. BOOK EARLY to pass BOTH exams in 2024 (include time to retake). DO NOT wait until 2025 to take exams it will be updated and taken with another testung company=complicated wait/experience, new steps/questions and very hard!!!!!
     
  10. After you passed both the practical and theory exam send in the LICENSE FEE FORM given to you at the exams by mail with $105 to get your license by mail in 3-5 weeks after you mail the fee. You can't mail it until you pass the Theory and Practical exam.  You can go DPOR to see if your license is posted online. If you see it then it should arrive in 2-3 weeks. 
     
  11. Renew your license every two years for about $105. They will mail you an invoice to pay online about 1 month before your license expires. Make sure DPOR has the correct address on file for you! If you move out of state you need to notify that state's Cosmetology Board to see if you can transfer your license into their state. Usually it's a fee, their form and Virginia's form or showing paystubs of working for added hours. High hour states may require additional school hours from their state.

Good Luck I am available 24/7 by text to answer questions as you go through this process!
