Pass your cosmetology state board exam — studying in the language you actually think in.

This app gives you everything you need to walk into exam day ready: 700+ practice questions, 400+ flashcards, a focused study guide, and realistic mock exams — all available in English, Español, Tiếng Việt, and 中文 (繁體 & 简体).

WORKS WHEREVER YOU TEST
Core cosmetology theory — science, hair, skin and nails — carries across states, so the questions, flashcards and study guide apply wherever you sit your written exam.

On top of that, the app covers the rules of each supported state — 14 states and growing. Where your state's written exam tests state law, you get state-law practice questions; where it doesn't, the study guide still covers the law you need to work legally, and tells you it isn't on the exam.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 700+ exam-style multiple-choice questions with instant explanations
• 400+ flip flashcards, filterable by subject
• Focused study guide covering science, hair, skin, nails and state laws
• Full-length mock exams with scoring and weak-spot analysis
• Wrong-answer notebook that tracks what you keep missing
• 4-week study plan with daily goals
• Daily study reminder so you keep your streak

STUDY IN YOUR LANGUAGE
If English isn't your first language, most study material quietly works against you — you spend energy translating instead of learning. This app lets you study in your own language, or side-by-side bilingual, so what you learn actually sticks.
