Louisiana · State Board of Cosmetology
Louisiana cosmetology license lookup.
The Louisiana State Board of Cosmetology puts a licensing search on its public home page. It takes a licence number, a first name and a last name.
Short answer: Open the Louisiana Board of Cosmetology public page and use the Licensing Search: enter a License #, or a first and last name. This page does not look anyone up.
How to check, step by step
- Go to the board’s public page and find the LICENSING SEARCH box.
- Enter a license number if you have one, or the first and last name.
- Check the "Data last updated" date shown above the results. It tells you how current the list is.
- If you cannot find a licence, the board FAQ has a Lost Renewal Form for licensees who cannot find theirs. Call 866-257-7901 for other questions.
Official pages
A search with a visible date stamp
The Louisiana search shows a line reading Data last updated beside its results. When we read the page on November 1, 2026 it showed that same date. Treat that line as part of the answer: a record you cannot find may simply post-date the last update, while a record that appears reflects the board’s data as of that date, not the minute you look.
The search offers three fields: License #, First Name and Last Name. If a name search returns nothing, try the number, and ask the provider for it.
The three-year restoration rule
The board FAQ says that if a licence has been expired for more than three years (36 months), the person must take a restoration exam before restoring the licence. For a customer, that means an expired record is not necessarily a quick paperwork fix on the stylist’s side. The FAQ covers several situations: renewing a licence you cannot find, getting a new licence, restoring an expired one, getting licensed from another state or country, and transferring a Louisiana licence out.
Scam warning on the board site
The board home page warns that scammers posing as State Board inspectors are active and states that the board will never request phone payments. If someone calls claiming to be a board inspector and asks for payment, hang up and contact the board on the numbers published on its site.
A worked example (hypothetical)
A parent in Baton Rouge wants to confirm an esthetician before a teen’s facial. She enters the first and last name, then reads the data-updated date. A record appears with the right licence type, and she is done. If none appears, she asks the esthetician for the license number, searches by number, and phones the board. No real person is described.
What this page does not cover
We did not read the search’s status wording or a licence-number format, so this guide offers no glossary or number check. The board lists its office at 11622 Sunbelt Court, Baton Rouge, with 866-257-7901 toll free and 225-756-3404 local.
