if i get my cosmetology license in Connecticut would i be able to work in New York? Hair - 3 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : yes. I believe New York State is one of the few states that requires the least amount of hours. I live in NY and I took cosmo 2 : Different states have different hours that are required per state boards. You should first find out how many you need in connecticut and then also see what the requirements are for New york. Once you move however, and if your hours are right, i do believe you'd still have to get relicensed in New York. Just be sure though, that you don't need more hours, because that would mean going back to school in NY once you've already thought you were finished. 3 : No. You need to be licensed in whatever state you live in, and depending on whether NY has more hours, You may have to go BACK to school and get those hours, and sometimes(most of the time, if the state has the same or less hours, and no reporocity) you will have to take the state board exam.
