Once I finish with my degree I want to work as a freelance artist and possibly a photographer. Do I a cosmetology licence to do freelance makeup work in Florida?
I do not know what the laws are in Florida but you can look them up! I live in Oregon and if you are doing makeup "professionally" or otherwise and charging money... If you get caught you can get fined a lot of money!!! Getting my esthetics license was my first step!
Go to myflorida.com and pull up business license requirements and it should tell you what is required,if anything is. I don't think there is but its best to always double check because they are big on busting people for doing unlicensed work in all industries. :)
