Cosmetologist license exam?

i was wondering if you can get your cosmetologist's license by just passing the test, instead of going to beauty school. i know the exam has several parts, and if you learn to master what you're being tested on, can you skip beauty school and just pass the exam to get a license? or it's a must/you have to go? Thank all who answer!

    you can't take the state board test without going to school. in order to take the test and get your license you need a certain amount of "hours". those hours are accumulated by going to class and practicing.

    think about it, would you want someone who never went to cosmetology school dying your hair?

    i wouldn't
