Pharmacy Technicians License in Mississippi

Mississippi licenses nail technicians (called 'manicurists') through the State Board of Cosmetology, though the COS database did not return a direct nail technician record. Mississippi requires 350 hours of approved nail technology training and passage of state-administered written and practical exams. The state uses the term 'manicurist' in its licensing framework and requires applicants to be at least 16 years old with a minimum of an 8th-grade education, which is lower than many other states. Mississippi enforces sanitation standards for nail salons and requires technicians to work in licensed establishments.
