New York cosmetology, nail, esthetics & barber licenses

New York licenses the appearance-enhancement trades — cosmetology, nail specialty, esthetics, waxing and natural hair styling — and barbering at the state level through the Department of State's Division of Licensing Services. The state publishes its 220,881 active individual licenses as one open-data file, and this directory republishes an alphabetical sample of that file: one ordered pull of the file's first 30,000 names, with the first 800 licensees per letter kept — 2,401 licensees in all, tabled in full on the letter pages below. The type breakdown underneath is counted from the full file, not the sample. Every row carries the licensee's name, license number, license type, effective date and expiration date exactly as the state publishes them, fetched on 2026-09-17. The state file has no city column, so none is shown.
