What does the Mississippi State Board of Cosmetology require regarding instructor licensing?

The Mississippi State Board of Cosmetology requires that instructors hold a current, active license to ensure that they have the necessary qualifications and up-to-date knowledge of cosmetology practices, safety standards, and state regulations. Holding an active license signifies that the instructor has met specific educational requirements and has demonstrated competency in the field of cosmetology, which is essential for training students effectively.

This requirement also protects the integrity of the profession by ensuring that students learn from professionals who are current on innovations and legal obligations in the field. Instructors without an active license may not have the latest skills or knowledge, which could adversely affect their teaching and ultimately the education of aspiring cosmetologists.
