To become a licensed esthetician in Michigan requires 400 hours of training, a 6-month apprenticeship, and costs $15 to apply. Licenses must be renewed annually for $48, with a $20 late fee. Continuing education is not required for renewal. Licenses from other states can be transferred if their requirements are substantially equal to Michigan's. The Michigan State Board of Cosmetology provides licensing and can be contacted at their Lansing office or website.
