Applications may be obtained by writing or calling the board.

The TDD number is (800) 735-2966.(3) Upon graduation from a Missouri school licensed by the board, or an apprentice barber establishment, an application for examination may be obtained from the school, apprentice supervisor or the board upon a satisfactory showing that training requirements are completed. Applicants that have currently graduated from an out-of-state licensed barber school or apprentice barber establishment, and upon satisfactory showing that training requirements are completed, may obtain an application for examination from the board.(4) No training received in a school may be credited towards the fulfillment of the hours necessary in an apprenticeship program and no training received in a barber establishment may be credited towards the hours required in a school to meet the minimum requirements necessary to qualify for a state examination.(5) Temporary Permit. An individual who has applied to take the state examination may, at the same time, apply for a temporary permit to practice as a barber. Individuals operating under a temporary permit shall be under the supervision of a barber currently licensed by the board. A temporary permit issued to a student or apprentice will be terminated if the student or apprentice fails to pass an examination or fails to appear for a scheduled examination. Thereafter, the person may practice as a barber in Missouri only after passing a state examination and receiving a license. An additional temporary permit shall not be extended for any individual.(6) In order to be scheduled for examination, all training hours must be completed and a properly completed application on a form supplied by the board must be received by the board within five (5) years from the date the board issues the relevant student/apprentice license. The Application for Examination/Temporary Permit Form must be received in the test administrator's office, along with all applicable examination fees, no less than fourteen (14) days prior to the date of the scheduled examination the applicant desires to take. Applications received after the cut-off date and all applications received after every available space for the examination has been filled, whether that application was received prior to or after this cut-off date, shall be scheduled for the next regularly scheduled examination. Applicants shall comply with all applicable rules of the test administrator.(7) At the discretion of the board, the examination may be administered by the board or its authorized representative or the board may contract with a third party for testing/examination services. All parts of the examination must be passed for licensure. The minimum passing examination scores required for licensure as a barber are seventy-five (75) for the practical examination and a score of seventy-five (75) for the written examination.(8) Failure of any portion of the examination will require the applicant to reapply with the applicable fee for examination. Applicants shall be required to retake only the portion(s) of the examination that were failed.(9) Pursuant to Chapter 328, RSMo and the board's statutory duty to assess qualifications and skill, training completed by a student or apprentice shall be recognized by the board for a period of no more than five (5) years from the date it is received.(10) Upon notification from the board of passing scores on both portions of the examination for licensure as a barber, the applicable fee for a license shall be submitted to the board to lawfully practice as a barber. If the fee is not submitted to the board within two (2) years of notification from the board of passing scores, the applicant shall reapply to retake both portions of the examination.(11) Barber License Posted. Upon licensure, every licensed barber shall post a current license issued by the board in front of the barber's working chair where it shall be readily seen by all patrons.
