It is issued by the Missouri Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners, which sets the licensing requirements and approves the examinations you must pass after completing an approved esthetics program. The MO Esthetician case studies are 5 cases and about 6,536 words.

Marcus, 34, Fitzpatrick IV, books his first appointment with you - a 90-minute facial - and asks for 'a deep pore cleansing with steam, every extraction on my nose, strong exfoliation, and dermaplaning.'

You can see diffuse redness across both cheeks, fine visible capillaries on the nose and cheeks, and four small red bumps on the nasal bridge.

Priya rents a suite inside a licensed Springfield salon and holds a current Missouri esthetician license, which she keeps in a drawer at her apartment. In one week three requests land: a 16-year-old arrives alone for a Brazilian wax, says her mother 'is totally fine with it,' but cannot reach her by phone; a bride wants microblading plus a lash lift three weeks before her wedding; and a friend offers $60 cash for a lash lift and tint at the friend's home for a birthday party, no receipt, no intake form, and 'we'll just do it in the kitchen.' Separately, Priya has been letting an unlicensed friend 'practice' lash extensions on paying clients in her suite on Sundays while Priya is out.
