Licensure programs

Four Florida credentials, one honest price each — enrollment fee, books and kit always included.

Four Florida licensure-track programs — from the fastest entry (Nail Specialist, 180 hours) to the full Cosmetology license (1,200 hours). Every price is all-in: enrollment fee, books and student kit included.

Licensure status: Pensacola Beauty School is in the process of obtaining licensure from the Florida Commission for Independent Education (CIE). Enrollment agreements and tuition collection for licensure programs begin only after licensure is granted (Fla. Stat. §1005.31). You can join the interest list now — we will contact you as soon as enrollment opens. All certification courses enroll immediately.

Not sure which program fits?

Take the 30-second career plan quiz — or compare: Nail Specialist (180 h) is the fastest licensed entry; Facial Specialist (220 h) is Florida's esthetician credential with the strongest BLS median; Full Specialist (400 h) combines both; Cosmetology (1,200 h) is the only one that adds hair. All four include the required 4-hour HIV/AIDS course where applicable.

How to think about the choice

Pick the credential by the service you want to sell most. Love nails and want the fastest legal start? 180 hours and you are done. Drawn to skin care and spa work? 220 hours to the strongest BLS median in the industry. Want maximum flexibility per client visit? 400 hours covers both. Dream in hair — color, cuts, transformations? Only the 1,200-hour Cosmetology license opens that scope, and it includes skin and nails along the way.

Every program page lists the full fee structure, module plan and schedule blocks. And if you want to start learning before deciding on a license, look at our 45+ certification courses — most need no license and no experience.
