If you are licensed in another state, you may be eligible for reciprocity. Reciprocity is Nevada's recognition of your license in esthetics, cosmetology, hair braiding, hair design, nail technology, and your license to instruct from another state, district, territory, or country. The total cost for submitting a reciprocity application is a non-refundable fee of $325.00.

​

In order to be eligible for reciprocity in the State of Nevada, your license must be active and in good standing in another state. Applicants must complete an Individual Application and submit the required information and pass a 25-question Nevada State Law Test with a 75% or higher to become licensed.

​

Please Note: Florida licenses titled Nail Specialist, Facial Specialist, or Full Specialist may require theory testing. Nevada does not recognize Alaska's Manicurist license and only recognizes the Advanced Manicurist license. This is due to the training requirements for the Manicurist license not being comparable to Nevada's Nail Technician license.

​
