How to Become a Licensed Lash Artist in Nevada

Considering a career as a lash artist in Nevada? To legally apply eyelash extensions in the state, you must hold a valid license. In Nevada, lash services fall under both cosmetology and esthetics licenses. The path you choose depends on whether you aim to offer a broad range of beauty services or specialize in skincare and lashes.

Requirements for Lashing in Nevada:

To perform lash extension services in Nevada, you need to complete one of the following state-approved programs:

  • Cosmetology License: Requires 1,600 hours of training. This comprehensive program covers hair, nails, skincare, and lash application, making it ideal for those seeking to offer a full suite of beauty services.

  • Esthetician License: Requires 600 hours of training focused on skincare treatments, facials, waxing, and lash services. This option is the quickest option if you wish to specialize in skincare and lashes.

  • Advanced Esthetics - Requires 900 hours of training focused on advanced skincare treatments such as lasers and advanced chemical peels, as well as everything covered in the basic esthetician license. 

Steps to Becoming a Licensed Lash Artist in Nevada

1. Enroll in a State-Approved Program

Choose between a cosmetology, esthetics, or advanced esthetics program based on your career goals. Make sure the school is approved by the Nevada State Board of Cosmetology and offers hands-on lash training, including proper application techniques, sanitation, and client safety.

2. Complete Your Training and Pass the State Exams

After fulfilling the required hours, you'll need to pass Nevada's licensing exams, which typically include both written and practical components to assess your knowledge and technical skills.

3. Apply for Your License

Once you've passed your exams, submit your license application to the Nevada State Board of Cosmetology, including proof of training and exam results. Upon approval, you'll be officially licensed to perform lash extension services in the state.
