Houston, Texas · a continuing education division of Tu Es Belle Spa
Online, self-paced CE coursework with an examination component, designed to meet TDLR continuing education requirements — written by a licensed practitioner in a working Houston treatment room.
CE provider registration in progress with TDLR — enrollment opens upon approval
The Academy
Tu Es Belle CE Academy is the continuing education division of Tu Es Belle Spa, at 333 West Loop North, Suite 410, Houston, TX 77024 in the Uptown and Galleria area of Houston. Every course is being written by Rozmin Shirazee — in the industry since 2008, a licensed cosmetologist, and an active laser hair removal technician — around the way renewal actually works for people on the floor.
Courses are delivered entirely online: read or watch the module, work at your own pace, then complete the examination component. No classroom seats, no travel, no scheduling around a webinar.
Because TDLR licenses are issued at state level and the coursework is online, this is a statewide academy, not a Houston-only one. A licensee in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, El Paso, McAllen, Corpus Christi or Lubbock completes the identical approved hours, on the identical schedule, from anywhere in Texas:
We also answer the questions licensees ask before they ever buy a course, with the department's own pages cited for every figure:
Please note: Tu Es Belle CE Academy is not yet a registered continuing education provider. The provider packet is being prepared for submission to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Nothing on this site is offered for enrollment or credit until approval is issued, and provider and course numbers will be published here once issued.
Planned course tracks
Each track is being developed as online, self-paced training. The laser track includes an examination component, which TDLR requires for web-based laser instruction.

TDLR requirements
Houston licensees renewing a Texas cosmetology, esthetician, eyelash extension or manicurist license need 4 hours of department-approved continuing education every two years. Individual laser hair removal registrations require 8 hours. Approved online coursework counts, so you can complete renewal hours from home.
Yes. TDLR accepts approved online continuing education, and states plainly that web-based online training is accepted for laser hair removal CE provided the course includes an examination component. Every Tu Es Belle track is being built as self-paced online modules with an exam — no classroom, no travel, no live webinar.
| License type | CE hours | Cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmetology, esthetician, eyelash extension, manicurist (under 15 years licensed) | 4 hours | Every 2 years |
| Barbering & cosmetology licensees, 15 years or more | 2 hours | Every 2 years |
| Laser hair removal individual registration (all four levels) | 8 hours | At renewal |

Your instructor
In the industry since 2008, licensed since 2009, with 18 years of experience across cosmetology and laser hair removal, and an active laser hair removal technician practicing in Houston.
Shirazee runs Tu Es Belle Spa in Uptown Houston, where she works with clients every week — which is exactly the point. The CE material being developed here is drawn from current, hands-on practice: what actually goes wrong in a treatment room, what sanitation looks like when you are busy, and what a licensee needs to know to stay compliant and safe.
How online CE will work
Choose the track that matches your license and register through the site. Enrollment opens only after TDLR approval is issued.
Work through the material on any device, at whatever hours suit you. One CE hour equals 50 minutes of actual instruction, so the pacing is built around real content — not filler.
Each online course includes an examination component, as TDLR requires for web-based training.
The provider issues your certificate of completion within 15 days of the course end date. Keep it — as the licensee, you are required to retain it for two years.
Waitlist
Leave your details and we will reach out as soon as TDLR approval is issued and course dates are set. Prefer to speak to someone? Call the spa directly on (346) 812-7727.
