Mississippi Barber License License: Complete Roadmap
Follow this path to organize your licensing and exam preparation
Learn Mississippi law, rules, and sanitation
Work through Miss. Code Ann. Title 73 Chapter 7 and the MSBCB Rules — licensure under § 73-7-13.1, the § 73-7-33 sanitation statute, and Board Rules Chapters 10 and 11, which the Board designates as the study guide for its Law and Sanitation exam.
Master infection control and scientific concepts
Cover NIC Domain I at 35% of the exam: disease transmission, cleaning versus disinfection versus sterilization, blood exposure, CDC/OSHA/EPA requirements, hair and skin anatomy, body systems, disorders, and product chemistry.
Work through hair care services end to end
Cover NIC Domain III at 40% of the exam: consultation and documentation, draping, shampooing and conditioning, scalp treatments, cutting and outlining, wet, blow-dry, thermal and natural styling, hair enhancements, head shaving, and every chemical service.
Study implements, facial hair, and skin care services
Cover NIC Domains II and IV: razors, shears, clippers, combs, brushes, equipment and supplies, then skin evaluation and contraindications, the shave service and its required strokes, facial hair design, facials, and electrotherapy.
Take timed Mississippi barber practice exams
Work full timed sets at the real ratio — 110 items in 90 minutes — weighting practice toward Hair Care Services and Scientific Concepts, and confirm you can reach a scaled score of 70 before scheduling through the ms.gov exam portal.

Quality Exam Prep Shouldn't Cost Hundreds
I'm Ran Chen, an engineer with 20+ years of coding experience. I passed my Life Insurance license, EA exam, SIE, Series 6, 63, 65, and finally the CFP® exam.
Through all these exams, one thing became clear: exam prep is expensive. But with AI, we can change that. Quality preparation can now be free for everyone.
