It depends on the Board of Cosmetology requirements in the state you want to work in. Many states offer reciprocity for those who were not educated in that state, but may not offer it for those educated out of the country. At a minimum you will likely have to take a standardized exam. Note also that different states may have different hours required, which may mean you will need to take more classes.
