WHAT OUR PROFESSIONALS HAVE TO SAY
Dori is absolutely amazing and so easy to work with! She offered me a private class and personally that worked so well for me and learning. When it came to renewing my CEU hours this year I ran into a lot of problems, and she was all for helping me and got me in so fast to complete what was needed. Highly recommend!
Needed to restore my license and didn’t know where to start. I did a google search and found Dori on this Facebook page. She was very helpful. It gave me hope to pursue my career. Thank you Dori for your excellent service.
This is my first license renewal year, so I was pretty apprehensive about obtaining my CEU hours given the obstacles created by the pandemic. Dori's virtual classes are an amazing way to conveniently obtain your classroom credits without having to worry about the risk of exposure, and she provides so many wonderful tips and practices of the trade!
Dori was fantastic! I have moved out of state and in need of restoring my IL cosmetology license in order to transfer the license to my new live in state. I attended her virtual class and she guided me through what to expect and how to go about the reinstatement. She was knowledgeable, professional, friendly and best of all, I didn't have to drive 7 hours one way to attend the class. I would highly recommend Dori as your go to CEU resource and all around cosmetology mentor for when life happens and you don't know what the next steps are with your professional license. I look forward to taking more classes with her in the future!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between a non-renewed and inactive license?
A non-renewed license is a license that has not been renewed or placed on inactive status. An inactive license is a license that
has been placed on inactive status by the licensee, usually at renewal time. Typically, you do not have to pay lapsed renewal fees if your license is placed on inactive status. If a license is non-
renewed or inactive for a certain number of years, it may be necessary to submit a restoration application and additional documentation, depending on the profession.
How do I restore my license?
A person applying for restoration of a license as a cosmetologist that has expired or been on inactive status for less than 5 years shall submit an application on forms provided by the Division and pay the required fee and provide evidence of successful completion of 14 hours of continuing education earned within the 2 years immediately preceding the restoration.
Military status: If you are restoring after active military service, the applicant shall submit a copy of the applicant's DD-214 and the current renewal fee.
Is Sexual Harassment a one-time requirement?
Sexual Harassment prevention training will be required for every renewal after January 1, 2020 and can be included in the number of required hours to renew or restore your license.
When does my license expire?
Cosmetology and Estheticians September 30th
odd years. Nail Technicians and Hair Braiders October 31st even years.
Is Domestic Violence and Sexual Harassment the same?
NO. A new law requires a one-hour, one-time CE course on Domestic Violence. This CE requirement was effective for the September 2019 licensure renewal. If you completed the Domestic Violence course at ABS in Chicago in the spring of 2016, 2017 or 2018 you are in compliance and do NOT have to take the course
again. Save the certificate you received as proof of attendance in the event you are audited.
Sexual Harassment as of January 1 st , 2020, 1 CE hour of Sexual Harassment is a requirement for every renewal year and can be included in the total number of required hours for your license. (The link to complete this self-study course can be found on our website or Facebook page).
How do I know if a CE provider is IDFPR approved?
A list of IDFPR approved CE providers can be found on the website at idfpr.illinois.gov Click the Professional Regulations drop down, Click Resources & amp; Publications, Click Approved CE Sponsors.
I’ve had my license 25+ years and/or I’m 62 or older. Do I need to complete the required hours to renew my license?
Short answer YES. Beginning with the 2017 renewal period those who were previously exempt from continuing education (CE)
requirements due to age (62 years or older) or license experience (25+ years) are no longer exempt and are required to complete their CE hours before submitting a renewal.
Is it true that IDFPR will no longer issue the traditional paper license?
