offices, our office can mail the form or go to the forms tab
on our web site, cosmetology.nv.gov.The application has all
the NAC regulations required to open a salon. There is a

Who can own and operate a cosmetology salon establishment? |
| |
Anyone may own a salon establishment, but it must be
operated or managed by a Nevada licensee. This individual is
called the cosmetologist-in-charge or in-charge-person. The
designated individual must be licensed to cover all the
services to be rendered within the salon. (NRS 644.370)
(NAC644.037).

Can I open a cosmetology salon establishment out of my
private residence or home? |
| |
Yes, cosmetology may be practiced in private residences
only when the rooms used for the practice are completely
separate from any rooms used for living quarters. The rooms
used for the practice must be completely and permanently
sealed off from the living quarters so that the only
entrances to and exits from that portion of the residence
used for the practice of cosmetology are from the street. A
room used in a private residence for the practice of
cosmetology must meet all requirements for cosmetological
establishment in NAC 644.310 to 644.385, inclusive, and
must:
|
| |
a) |
Have a ceiling that is not less than 8 feet inheight; |
| |
b) |
Be equipped to give proper service to clients; |
| |
c) |
Have toilets which are separate from any toilets used by
residents. |
| |
d) |
Have a sign outside of the building denoting the name of the
cosmetological establishment.
|
| |
A private residence in which cosmetology is practiced must
be located in a geographical area in which the practice of
cosmetology is allowed by local zoning ordinances. If the
private residence is not located in such an area, the owner
must receive a variance from the appropriate local governing
body before applying to the Nevada State Board for a license
for the cosmetological establishment and a copy of the
variance must be submitted with Establishment Application. (NAC
644.375).

What do I need if there are changes made to the salon name,
ownership or location? |
| |
The owner will need to complete a new “Establishment
Application”, submit a fee of $215 to the Nevada State
Board. A new salon establishment license must be issued in
order to operate under any change re: salon name, ownership,
addition or deletion of services, or location change, prior
to the change. (NRS 644.340) (NRS 644.345.1 & 2). |
