STUDENT PERMITS ISSUED FOR SIX (6) MONTHS BY STATE BOARD OF COSMETOLOGY
On November 3, 2023, the Mississippi State Board of Cosmetology extended the issuance of student work permits from three (3) months to six (6) months, becoming effective for all new requests on November 9, 2023. Going forward, student work permits will be issued directly to the student and not a dedicated salon. However, the student must be monitored by a licensee in the program completed. The Board revised Rule 3.2; such revisions will expire after 120 days from filing date, unless renewed for an additional 90 days by the Board.
Please note that all existing work permits will remain within the original three (3) month expiration date. Only new requests received on or after November 9, 2023, will have the six (6) month expiration date.
