What is the minimum age requirement to apply for an eyelash extension license in Texas?

In Texas, the minimum age requirement to apply for an eyelash extension license is 17 years old. This is established to ensure that applicants are sufficiently mature and have the capacity to meet the responsibilities that come with a professional license in the beauty industry. Requiring applicants to be at least 17 helps to ensure that individuals have completed their basic education and have a clearer understanding of professionalism, client interaction, and the importance of adhering to safety and hygiene standards in the cosmetic field.

Choosing an age younger than 17 for licensing may not adequately prepare individuals for the complexities of working in a client-oriented industry, or ensure they have the necessary life experience to make informed decisions regarding health and safety practices. This minimum age requirement thus serves to protect both the licensee and the clients they serve.
