How to Get a Lash License in Texas (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you’ve been dreaming of becoming a lash artist in Texas, you’re in the right place! The lash industry is booming—and the first step to turning your passion into a career is getting your Eyelash Extension Specialty License.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about how to get your lash license in Texas, from requirements and training hours to how DFW Lash University can help you achieve your goals faster.

Step 1: Meet the Basic Requirements

Before enrolling in a lash program, you must:
✅ Be at least 17 years old
✅ Have a high school diploma or GED

That’s it! No prior beauty experience or cosmetology background is required.

Step 2: Enroll in a State-Approved Lash Program

To get licensed in Texas, you need to complete 320 hours of lash training from a TDLR-approved Eyelash Extension Specialty School like DFW Lash University.

At DFW Lash University, you can choose between:
💖 12-Week Full Program – Perfect for those who want a balanced, flexible pace
💖 8-Week Accelerated Program – Designed for students ready to go all in and get licensed faster

Both options cover:

Lash theory and safety
Classic, hybrid, and volume lash application
Sanitation and infection control
Client management and business skills
State board exam preparation

Step 3: Pass the Written and Practical Exams

Once you’ve completed your 320 hours, you’ll need to pass the TDLR written and practical exams to earn your Eyelash Extension Specialty License.

Don’t worry—DFW Lash University provides hands-on training and state board prep workshops to ensure you’re confident and ready for both exams.

Step 4: Apply for Your Texas Lash License

After passing both exams, you can submit your application to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) and officially become a licensed lash artist.

Step 5: Start Your Lash Career!

Once licensed, you can begin working in salons, spas, or start your own lash business. With the right education and guidance, you’ll have the foundation to build a long-lasting career in beauty.
