Q1: What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a TDLR Eyelash Extension Specialist license in Texas?
A. 16 years old
B. 17 years old [CORRECT]
C. 18 years old
D. 21 years old
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Under TDLR regulations, an applicant must be at least 17 years old to obtain an Eyelash Extension Specialist license in Texas.
Option A is incorrect as 16 is below the minimum. Option C reflects the age requirement for a Cosmetology Operator license, not the lash
specialty. Option D has no basis in TDLR rules.

can apply for the Eyelash Extension Specialist license?
A. 160 hours
B. 240 hours
C. 320 hours [CORRECT]
D. 500 hours
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: TDLR requires 320 hours of approved training at a licensed beauty school for the Eyelash Extension Specialist license. Option A
(160) and Option B (240) are below the required threshold. Option D (500) is the requirement for a full Cosmetology Operator, not the lash
specialty license.

address change?
A. 10 days
B. 15 days
C. 30 days [CORRECT]

Q4: How often must a TDLR-regulated salon be inspected?
A. Once per year
B. Once every 2 years [CORRECT]
C. Once every 3 years
D. Only when a complaint is filed
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: TDLR conducts salon inspections once every 2 years. Option A is too frequent and not the TDLR standard. Option C extends
beyond the required inspection cycle. Option D is incorrect because inspections are performed on a regular cycle, not solely in response to
complaints.
Q5: A TDLR salon inspector finds violations during a routine inspection. Within how many days must corrective
modifications be made?
A. 5 days
B. 10 days [CORRECT]
C. 30 days
D. 60 days
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: TDLR regulations require that corrective modifications following a salon inspection must be completed within 10 days. Option A is
too short and not the regulatory standard. Option C (30 days) is the notification period for address or name changes. Option D (60 days) is the
temporary license duration.
Q6: A lash technician recently got married and changed her last name. What must she do regarding her TDLR
license?
A. Apply for an entirely new license with the new name
B. Notify TDLR of the name change within 30 days [CORRECT]
C. Wait until her next license renewal to update the name
D. Continue working under her previous name without notification
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: TDLR requires licensees to notify the department within 30 days of any name change. Option A is unnecessary as a new license
application is not required for a name change. Option C delays the notification beyond the regulatory requirement. Option D violates TDLR
rules as the license must reflect the current legal name.

A. Every year
B. Every 2 years
C. Every 3 years [CORRECT]

for less than 15 years?
