Thanks been looking for this I just got my cosmetology license and WANT to go into makeup but sucks some of them don't even accept a damn license all that hard work for no help from some of these places. But so many that do offer them so thank you for posting :))
can you tell me how to get the discount like am i suppose to send all the requirements to their company? or go to the stores and ask for it....any ideas please. because i just got my cosmetologist license. thank you xoxoxo
I am a licensed cosmetologist. do I just need to contact these companies with a photo of my license to apply for the discounts? that would be so exciting to get a lower price :-)
Most companies will not accept cosmetology licenses as proof of being a professional makeup artist. Others may give only a 10% to 30% discount instead of a larger discount (but hey, it's still a discount). Look at the requirements each company sets for applying for their pro cards/discounts.

I wonder if they consider cosmetology license the same thing as a makeup artist certification from a certified makeup artistry school.
