Can a licensed cosmetologist in Tennessee perform makeup applications?

In Tennessee, a licensed cosmetologist is fully authorized to perform makeup applications as part of their professional services. This is because the scope of practice for licensed cosmetologists includes a range of beauty services, including hair styling, nail technology, and makeup application. Since makeup application falls within the established skill set and training of a licensed cosmetologist, no additional certification is required for them to perform this service.

The law recognizes the training and skills that cosmetologists acquire during their educational programs, which encompass makeup application techniques. Therefore, as long as the individual holds a valid cosmetology license, they can legally offer makeup services in their practice without needing separate certification or being limited to specific occasions like special events.
