The Board has contracted with a national testing vendor, PSI, to provide tests for applicants for Minnesota licensure. Questions about costs, scheduling a test, test locations, etc. should be directed to PSI by phone or the PSI website. (Closed until April 30th 2020)

For exam content outlines (e.g. study topics) for operators, salon managers, and school managers, please refer to the Candidate Information Bulletin. (Or refer to the Spanish version or Vietnamese version.)

The state exam study outlines should be used in conjunction with Minnesota Rule chapters 2105 and 2110 and Minnesota Statute chapter 155A.
