Eyelash Technician Registration

On April 3, 2023, Governor Hobbs signed into law HB 2550 which adds a new registration for eyelash technicians. The proposed rules were approved by the Governor's Regulatory Review Council on March 5, 2024. 

Effective September 14, 2024, licensed aestheticians and cosmetologists are no longer required to register as eyelash technicians.

A new amendment now allows aestheticians and cosmetologists to perform eyelash extensions once again. This amendment passed and became law on September 14, 2024. If you are a licensed aesthetician or cosmetologist who registered and was approved as an eyelash technician, you do not need to renew the registration when it expires in two years. No refunds will be issued for the period when the registration was required by law to provide eyelash extension services, which lasted over 4 months.

 

Current Licensed Aestheticians and Cosmetologists who do Eyelash Extensions 

Effective September 14, 2024: 

  • Arizona-licensed aestheticians and cosmetologists do not have to register as an eyelash technician. Licensed aestheticians and cosmetologists can perform eyelash extensions. 

If you are not licensed as a cosmetologist or aesthetician and are currently doing eyelash extensions:

For individuals not previously licensed by the Board, one of the following:

  • A copy of any eyelash extension training certificate of completion received before October 30, 2023; or
  • A copy of the provisional registration (proof of completion) required under A.R.S. § 32-519(A)(3) verifying the successful completion of a Board-approved eyelash technician training program. (A provisional registration is a Certificate of graduation). 

If you took a course between October 31, 2023, and May 3, 2024, that course will not count. You will need to take a course from a board-approved training program.

Documents/Items Needed for the Application:

  • Proof of high school education: Transcript demonstrating at least two years of high school education or a high school diploma or equivalent
  • Provisional registration certificate you received upon completion of your training
  • Proof of citizenship/legal residency: This needs to be a document that has a photo on it. We recommend using an Arizona-issued license after 1996 or a passport.  States for which licenses are not acceptable are: Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington, as these States do not verify lawful presence in the United States.
  • 2x2 photo that will be placed on your registration. Must be against a white background from the shoulders up. No filters.
