Mission Statement To protect the health and safety of the consuming public by
licensing qualified individuals and enforcing high standards of practice.
Five Reasons Why 1. People lose the paper law books.2. Paper law books become obsolete every time a regulation or statute is updated.3. Learning to navigate to the Board website directly for resources and updated
laws and regulations will keep you connected and involved with Board happen-ings and changes.
4. Using the online resources for law books helps to keep costs low for the Boardand for licensees.
5. Using online resources in lieu of paper resources promotes environmental re-
sponsibility.

I Failed the Practical Exam! What do I do?
Login to the exam portal and view your examination report, also referred to as the Strength and Weakness report. Make note of the areas you did not do well in.
Refer to the practical scripts provided in the CIB and review the applicable subject areas again. Remember that Candidates are evaluated on the safety and sanitary performance in demonstrating the services.
Review the applicable subjects in the Helpful Hints and Sanita-tion Reminders for Examination document available on our resources page.
I failed the Written Exam, Why Can’t I know What I Missed?
Candidates are not provided with the actual test questions they missed because they are active exam questions and releasing that information would undermine the validity of the test as an assessment tool.
Sample questions are provided in the CIB as well as the refer-ences used to create the exam questions. These sample ques-tions are intended to help candidates understand the scope and type of knowledge that will be tested to qualify as passing on the exam.
Practice Tests are also available for minimal cost. These tests contain questions similar to what you would see on the exam but are not and should not be represented to be the “real” questions.
The State Board Examination is a final assessment test. The goal is for the Board to assess whether throughout their training students have mastered the minimum competency necessary to provide safe services to the public and meet the practice standards required to be licensed rather than the ability to memorize specific questions and answers.
If a candidate cannot pass Board examination, more education may be needed for that candidate to meet the practice stand-ards required for licensure in the State of Kansas.

In February 2017, KBOC launched the online
verification website and verification mobile app.
http://www.kansas.gov/kboc/License_Verification.htm
• Any license issued by the board of cosmetology, per-
son or facility, as well as pending applications can be
verified through this website.
• Approved program documents are displayed for the
schools and the most recent inspections documents
for Establishments.
• If you have partial information or you are not sure of
the exact name, etc., you can use a wildcard search
by placing an asterisk before and/or after the partial
search data. For example: not sure if name is Alan or
Allen, enter Al*; not sure of License Number, but you
think it contains 123, enter *123*.
• Create and download lists.

INSPECTION PROGRAM Responsibility of the Board
It is the Board’s responsibility to keep the public trust by insur-ing that all facilities regulated by the Board meet the stand-ards expected. The Board is also responsible to ensure fair-ness and integrity to its licensees in its inspections.
To achieve the Board’s mission of protecting the health and safety of the consuming public by licensing qualified individu-als and enforcing standards of practice, the Board will main-tain qualified staff with high professional standards. The Board shall be free of any conflict of interest, in fact and in appearance, related to the inspection of facilities under the purview of the Board.
To ensure that the Board is not dominated by one profession or one license type, and that all affected professions as well as the consuming public are represented, the Board member-ship consists of two members who represent the general pub-lic; three members who are licensed in the cosmetology pro-fessions (cosmetologist, nail technician, esthetician, electrol-ogist); one member licensed as a cosmetic tattoo artist, tattoo artist or body piercer; one member who is an owner and li-censed operator of a tanning facility; and one member who is associated with the "day-to-day operation" of a licensed cos-metology school. Likewise, Inspectors may be a licensee of the Board or may be a member of the general public. Inspec-tions may be carried out by any trained KBOC staff person or Board member pursuant to KAR 69-13-2 and KSA 65-1907.
The Board regulates the Cosmetology professions which in-clude Cosmetologists, Cosmetologist Technicians, Electrolo-gists, Electrology Trainers, Estheticians, Manicurists, and the Facilities, Instructors, and Schools for the Cosmetology Pro-fessions. The Board also regulates Tanning Facilities and the Body Art Professions including Tattoo Artists, Body Piercers, Permanent Cosmetic Technicians and the Facilities and Trainers for the Body Art Professions.
Inspectors must be able to conduct inspections, investigations and cite violations from three different law books governing three separate professions which encompasses more than 10 different types of establishments and over 20 different types of practitioner licensing.
Refer to our license statistics page to view more detailed in-formation about Board licensure.
The inspectors operate under the direction of the Executive Director whose primary function is to implement the policies of the Kansas State Board of Cosmetology in compliance with the enacted laws, rules, and regulations. The facility inspec-tion process is a major tool in the enforcement program of the Kansas Board of Cosmetology and provides the means to accomplish its goal of protecting the health and safety of the consuming public.
Principles of KBOC Inspections
Any defensible inspection is based upon the principles of validi-ty, reliability, and standardization.
Validity The validity of an inspection is an assurance that the inspec-tion process is reflective of what is considered Kansas standards of safe and sanitary facilities. The primary meth-odology used by the Board for inspection requirements is the alignment of selected inspection criteria with the existing rules and regulations adopted by the Board and by the Kan-sas Department of Health and Environment.
Each item on the inspection sheet is directly linked to those rules and regulations. These are regularly reviewed to deter-mine if significant change has occurred in the industry or practices that affect safety or infection control. The inspec-tion items are also reviewed to reduce unnecessary, punitive action against a licensee.
Reliability Reliability is an index reflecting the stability of the inspection process through use of the inspection forms. Facilities with similar situations consistently receive similar inspection re-ports regardless of the rater / inspector. Comprehensive training establishes consistency and inter-rater (inspector) reliability. Critical standards are established for each line of the inspection report.
Standardization Standardization means that every inspector is working from the same perspective, same rules, and consistently across the state. The reliability of inspections can be greatly affect-ed by differences in inspector judgments. After initial exten-sive training where inspector bias is thoroughly discussed and standardization procedures are implemented, there is a periodic training to ensure uniformity in inspection observa-tions.
A standardized inspection process assures there are not variations from one inspection to another and from one in-spector to another. Alignment of elements of the inspection process with current laws and regulations alongside inspec-tor training assures this standardization.
It is the inspectors’ responsibility to complete the inspection report form accurately and provide any information that is helpful in clarifying what could be confusing circumstances or to identify any specifics, such as individual work stations in multi-station facilities that are out of compliance.
Every numbered item on the inspection form must be ad-dressed either by circling “pass” or “fail;” one of the check-boxes must be checked, and every blank must be filled in. Inspectors are required to record all violations observed on the inspection report without exception.
Once the inspection is completed and reports are submitted to the Board office, it is solely the Board’s responsibility to determine compliance, discipline, and licensing issues as designated by statutes and regulations.

INSPECTION PROGRAM Inspectors: what do they do?
Believe it or not, Inspectors do a lot more than just inspect facilities...
Provide Inspections For all professions regulated by the Board, Inspectors provide routine (annual), compliance (new facilities), and complaint inspections to investigate alleged violations. Inspectors also conduct follow-up inspections for facilities with excessive health and sanitation violations, licensure law violations and expired licenses to determine compliance.
Region Management They must schedule appointments, track inspections, plan their inspection routes and meet or exceed projected inspection numbers for the year for their assigned regions.
Cite Laws and Regulations During inspections, Inspectors must be able to explain legal requirements to licensees, facility owners and consumers and cite the applicable laws and regulations as well as current Board policies and procedures.
Investigate Inspectors must Interview witnesses, collect evidence, and document all witness interviews, facts, observations and find-ings of violations for Board review.
Reports They draft fact-based investigation reports to document viola-tions and prepare detailed, grammatically correct, proofed and edited reports for submission to the Board.
Testify Inspectors testify at hearings conducted in accordance with the Kansas Administrative Procedure Act and Kansas Judicial Review Act regarding observations and evidence gathered in the course of inspections and investigations.
Provide Education They provide educational seminars as requested or required for students, practitioners and facility owners on how to achieve compliance with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment health and sanitation regulations.
Program Development They assist in the development of programs and initiatives to improve voluntary compliance by licensees and to educate the consuming public.
Customer Service Inspectors must maintain a professional demeanor when re-sponding to agitated, angry or otherwise upset individuals in a variety of challenging environments.
