## What is CA Cosmetology State Board?

Prepare for the California Cosmetologist written licensing exam with 1,000+ original practice questions written for this license. Every question is available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese, and every answer choice has its own explanation.

Cosmetology has the broadest outline of California's beauty licenses, from chemical texture services and haircoloring to skin care, lashes and brows, hair removal and nail care. Practice each domain on its own, then bring it all together in full-length timed mocks.

KNOW YOUR EXAM FORMAT
The California Cosmetologist written exam has 100 scored questions and 10 unscored pretest questions, with 120 minutes to finish. California offers this exam in English, Spanish and Vietnamese, and every question in this app comes in all three.

• Safety and infection control: 30%
• Consultation and hair, skin and nail analysis: 19%
• Chemical texture services: 12%
• Haircoloring: 10%
• Hair removal: 8%
• Nail care: 8%
• Skin care: 4%
• Eyelash and eyebrow: 4%
• Haircutting: 3%
• Hairstyling: 2%

OFFICIAL RESOURCES AND DIAGRAMS
Open the Board's exam information, current exam outline, multilingual Health and Safety Course and California's Article 12 health and safety rules from inside the app, along with PSI's Spanish and Vietnamese terminology guides. The Cosmetology app also links to OSHA's nail salon worker guidance, FDA pages on hair dye and eye cosmetic safety, and a free English-language hair colour textbook (a Canadian technique guide, not California law). Original, simplified skin-layer and nail-growth diagrams have English, Spanish and Vietnamese labels and NIH source links.

FREE AND FULL ACCESS
Free practice uses a fixed set of 30 sample questions across every exam domain, in short practice sets and the 10-question sample mock, with no purchase.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Lifetime access is a one-time purchase and does not renew.
