Florida Permanent Makeup License Requirements

Last updated: May, 2017

The Florida Department of Health regulates permanent makeup and issues out licenses. In order to perform permanent makeup services in the state, you must:

• Have passed a blood-borne pathogens test with at least 70% on the examination.
• Be at least 18 years old.
• Fill out an application and pay the $60 fee.
• You need to list the salons where you plan to work in the application. If the establishment does not have a license, you need to apply for one and prepare for an inspection.
• You must apply for the permanent makeup license in the county where you live, regardless of where you plan to work.
