Who needs cosmetology, esthetics or nail technology salon license in Nebraska?
Issued by Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Licensure Unit, at step 4 of 6 in the opening sequence: get the permits for your kind of business.
Apply before opening with the self-inspection, a sketch of the premises and proof of liability insurance; a salon may not operate until the license is issued. A change of owner or location needs a new application, sketch and fee, and an expired salon license cannot be reinstated.
