Out of State Esthetics School

    Before you pack your bags and head out of state to do your esthetics course work, stop and do your homework first. Make sure before you sign on the dotted line and enroll in some great school 3,000 miles from home that you can either transfer the license earned back to your home state, or take your state boards in home state with that certification. There was a lady I knew that decided to go to an out of state school and when she moved home she learned the hard way that it was difficult at best to get her license in her state even though the hours were the same. The last I heard, 8 months later she still couldn't get the licensing situation squared away. Let this be a lesson to you. Unfortunately, we have not come to the point of a national esthetics license yet, I think we should, but that is up to the government agencies to decide I suppose. Each state has its own set of requirements, never assume that all that hard work you put in is going to transfer back, make sure you double check before you catch that flight to the school of your dreams!
