Texas Cosmetology License Practice Exam 2026 – The All-in-One Guide to Master Your License!

Licensed cosmetologists are trained and authorized to perform chemical hair services, such as coloring, perming, and relaxing treatments. Their education includes specific instruction on the safe and effective use of chemical products, understanding the chemical interactions, and knowledge of hair structure and health. This training ensures that they can assess clients’ hair types, recommend appropriate services, and apply treatments safely to prevent damage and unwanted results.

Estheticians, while skilled in skincare and some hair removal techniques, do not typically possess the comprehensive training required for chemical hair services. Hair assistants, depending on their training and the regulations in place, may not have the legal authority to perform these services without supervision or proper licensing. Finally, any salon employee is not universally permitted to perform chemical hair services unless they have completed the necessary education and are licensed as cosmetologists. Therefore, it is important to ensure that any hair service involving chemicals is performed by a licensed professional to ensure client safety and satisfaction.
