Quarterly Hour Reporting
Beginning with the second (2nd) quarter of 2024, quarterly hour reports for cosmetology students in schools are required to be submitted through the PALS account associated with the school the student was attending. An email was sent at the beginning of April to alert schools to the pending change and included instructions for submitting the hours in PALS. Please note: cosmetology apprentice hours are still to be reported on paper forms.
Initial Salon Licensure Inspection
When applying for licensure of any salon, the salon CANNOT be open/operating prior to inspection. Inspection will be scheduled after successful review of a completed application. We will NOT schedule an inspection until all discrepancies are resolved.
