Can someone please guide me on how to apply or contact the right organization for an online eyebrow threading exam or certification?
I have a license from India and more than 5 years of experience doing eyebrow threading and shaping while helping in a salon. I would like to set up an online exam or certification so I can officially continue my work and grow my career.

Hello CVOH !
In the U.S., a license from your state’s Board of Cosmetology is typically required to professionally shape and tint brows, with some states also mandating specific certifications for specialized services like eyebrow threading or microblading. Is it that you want to continue your work in the United States ? Your location is not stated so I cannot give you any referrals.
You will have to start from scratch if you want to do eyebrows in the United States. You will need a U.S. State Cosmetology License or a U.S. Esthetician License before taking an Eyebrow training and certification and it should all be done in person, not online as you are dealing with working on people's bodies. Your American Certification exam will be based on how they teach it in America. These programs are normally two years in length for cosmetology or esthetician,. so you will have to decide if doing it in person and starting from scratch is something you'd want to do.
To verify this information, visit some nearby salons in the U.S. or go to some cosmetology or esthetician schools in your town or city where you live and get the official information and details. My advice is that since brows are so intricate and in a delicate area of the body, you should do your training in person for the entire training, not online. In this case, the American Certification as well as a License in Cosmetology or Esthetician outweighs the five years experience you have from a different country in order to work in the United States.
I hope this helps to start you off and I wish you all the best !
