At what age must a person be to take the esthetics board exam?

To take the esthetics board exam in Kansas, individuals must be at least 17 years old. This age requirement ensures that candidates have reached a level of maturity and responsibility that is deemed necessary for practicing esthetics professionally.

Additionally, this age threshold aligns with the broader educational and licensing requirements that typically include completing a training program in esthetics, which usually occurs after reaching a minimum age. It strikes a balance between ensuring candidates have the necessary experience and the maturity to understand both the technical and interpersonal aspects of providing esthetic services. By setting the minimum age at 17, regulatory bodies aim to protect both clients and practitioners in the field.
