Which organization oversees the licensing of cosmetologists in Georgia?

The Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers is the authoritative organization responsible for overseeing the licensing of cosmetologists in Georgia. This board establishes the regulations and ensures that professionals in the cosmetology field meet the necessary standards for safety, sanitation, and professional practice. It handles the examination and licensing processes, as well as enforcement of the laws that govern the practice of cosmetology and barbering in the state.

The other organizations mentioned are related to different aspects of professional regulation. For instance, the Georgia Department of Education primarily focuses on educational policies and programs within the state rather than professional licensing for cosmetologists. The Georgia Board of Health is typically involved in public health matters, not specifically in regulating cosmetology practices. The Georgia Professional Licensing Board encompasses various professions but does not specifically target cosmetology as a distinct area of focus like the State Board does.
