About Pass Cosmetology
Pass Cosmetology is one study site for the beauty and barbering board exams: cosmetology, esthetician, nail tech, barber, and electrology — the NIC-family state-board written/theory exams — as separate courses you buy only when you need them. The same schools feed all five licenses, and the same board ecosystem tests them. Every course teaches each fact aloud with a memory hook, drills it with explained answers, and tests you with review tests drawn from the same question bank you drill.
- Pass Cosmetology — Cosmetology Written Theory (110-question bank)

Independent study tool. Pass Cosmetology is owned and operated by DataPig LLC and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the NIC (National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology), PSI, Prov, Pearson VUE, or any state board of cosmetology, barbering, or electrology. These courses prepare the written/theory exam only — your state board administers licensing, sets the passing cut, and adds its own practical and hour requirements; some states use a state-specific exam. Requirements and some tested values vary by state and change over time — your state board’s current candidate bulletin is the final word.
