LICENSING GUIDE

Nevada — Advanced Esthetician

Nevada’s advanced esthetician license adds advanced procedures such as microneedling, medium-depth chemical peels, and qualifying nonablative esthetic medical procedures to the practice of esthetics. Applicable advanced services are subject to Nevada’s required collaboration framework.

Nevada Advanced Esthetician licenses may be renewed for either a two-year or four-year term and expire on the licensee’s date of birth. The current renewal fees are $70 for two years or $140 for four years.

PATHWAYS TO LICENSURE

School Pathway

Training Hours: 900

Complete at least 900 hours of advanced-esthetics training in a licensed school of cosmetology. An applicant who already holds an esthetician license may qualify by completing at least 300 additional hours in the Board-prescribed advanced-esthetics curriculum.

Apprenticeship Pathway

Available: No

Nevada does not list an apprenticeship pathway for the Advanced Esthetician license. The Board’s apprenticeship programs include regular esthetics but not advanced esthetics.

LICENSE TRANSFER

Reciprocity and Endorsement

Nevada offers licensure by reciprocity to applicants who hold an active Advanced Esthetician or equivalent license in good standing in another jurisdiction and satisfy Nevada’s licensing requirements. Applicants must provide official license certification and pass the 25-question Nevada State Law examination with a score of at least 75%. The Board may require additional examinations when applicable.

LICENSE MAINTENANCE

Continuing Education

Required: Yes

Hours: 4

Before each renewal, an Advanced Esthetician must complete at least four hours of Board-approved instruction relating to infection control and prevention. The requirement applies per renewal because Nevada offers both two-year and four-year license terms.
