Cosmetology Continuing Education in Houston, TX
Houston has one of the largest beauty workforces in Texas — roughly 45,000 licensed cosmetologists, estheticians, and nail technicians work salons and studio suites from the Galleria and Montrose to Sugar Land and Katy. Texas renews those licenses through TDLR every two years, and continuing education is part of every renewal. If you've searched for a Houston cosmetology CE class or an in-person renewal course, our online TDLR-approved course is the convenient alternative — the same state-required curriculum, completed on your phone between clients instead of driving across the metro to a beauty school classroom.

Is there a Houston-specific cosmetology CE requirement?
No. Texas cosmetology CE is set by TDLR statewide — there's no separate Houston requirement. Our TDLR-approved course (Provider #2437) counts identically for any operator working Harris County, whether you're in the Galleria, the Heights, or Sugar Land.
Can I complete my cosmetology CE online instead of a Houston class?
Yes. TDLR accepts approved online CE statewide. Instead of driving to a beauty school or in-person class across Houston traffic, you can finish the same required hours on your phone or laptop and have your completion reported automatically.
How many CE hours do Houston cosmetologists need?
Most operators complete 4 hours of TDLR-approved CE each two-year renewal; those who qualify as experienced may complete a reduced 2-hour renewal. Both include the required sanitation content and apply anywhere in Texas.
