What are the requirements for becoming a licensed cosmetologist?

To become a licensed cosmetologist, one must meet certain requirements such as being at least 16 years old or having a high school diploma. This means that options A, C, and D are incorrect due to either the age or education requirement not being met. Additionally, option C mentions a 4-year apprenticeship, which is not a common requirement for cosmetology licensure. Option B is the most accurate answer, as it includes both the minimum age and education requirements along with the required number of hours at a cosmetology school.
