Mississippi Esthetics Association

Our association is working alongside our State
Board members to help ensure our estheticians are staying within scope.

We will be discussing much of this within our association group chat and would love to have as many estheticians involved as possible so we can help prevent you from possibly receiving future fines from working out of scope.

If you are interested in becoming a member, comment your email and we will reach out to you!

Important note: there are many estheticians performing services within our state that is out of scope at the time. We want to help educate on this and allow you to be a part of the change.

It’s important to know your scope of practice as an esthetician in Mississippi.

🧖🏻‍♀️ Did you know that if you are only licensed in esthetics that you are not legally allow to perform a headspa service?

In Mississippi you must be a licensed cosmetologist to perform this service and stay in scope.

When in doubt about your scope of practice or if a service falls in that scope, contact our Mississippi State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering office.

Please take time to read over the temporary rules and regulations.

They are open for public comment until August 14, 2026.

If you are a member of MEA and not in the private group message please let us know as well.

Clear responsibilities support a safe, trusted, and strong industry. Staying within your training and scope of practice protects clients and preserves professional standards.

This weekend will be full of fun and sun for many of your clients so don’t forget to remind them the importance of protecting their skin while soaking up all the Vitamin D ☀️

‼️Stay in the know ‼️

The next scheduled board meeting for the Mississippi State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering is scheduled for July 13 at 9am.

This meeting is set to be a virtual meeting.

Know that all board meetings are public, however, if you wish to speak at one you must follow protocol to be added to their agenda.

Good Evening Estys,

We are aware that our association has been in the shadows and quiet for a while now.

We want you to know that the new sitting board members for our association are working hard behind the scenes to get not only our association back up and going but to also be the ultimate resource for our states Estheticians.

We ask for your patience as much that we are having to work on is taking more time than we could have anticipated.
