Ohio Cosmetology Continuing Education is a vital component of maintaining a cosmetology license in the state. Licensed cosmetologists are required to complete a certain number of continuing education hours during each renewal cycle, typically every two years.
These continuing education hours cover a range of topics, including new trends in cosmetology, safety and sanitation practices, customer service, and state-specific regulations. Cosmetologists can choose from various approved courses and providers to fulfill their continuing education requirements.
Staying up-to-date with continuing education not only ensures that cosmetologists remain compliant with Ohio's licensing regulations but also helps them improve their skills and deliver the best possible services to clients.

What if I don't complete my Continuing Education requirements on time?
Failure to Complete Continuing Education Requirements
- License Renewal Delays: Failing to fulfill your CE requirements by the specified deadline can lead to delays in the renewal of your Cosmetology license. You may not be able to renew your license until you've completed the required CE hours.
- Lapsed License: If you continue to operate with an expired or lapsed license, you could be in violation of state regulations, and this may result in penalties or disciplinary actions.
- Fines and Penalties: The Ohio Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) can impose fines and penalties for non-compliance with CE requirements. These fines can increase the longer you remain non-compliant.
- Ineligibility to Conduct Business: Non-compliance with CE requirements can result in a suspension or even revocation of your Cosmetology license, rendering you ineligible to conduct any Cosmetology business in Ohio.
- Client Disputes: Failing to meet CE requirements may affect your professional credibility and may lead to disputes with clients who expect their Cosmetology professionals to be well-informed and up-to-date on industry practices and regulations.
To avoid these negative consequences, it's essential to stay current with your CE requirements and complete the necessary CE hours within the specified time frame.
