Esthetician License Tracking
Track esthetician license renewal as its own distinct credential from cosmetology.
Why this gets hard to manage manually
In most states, esthetics is licensed separately from general cosmetology, with its own exam and renewal cycle. ComplyNestly tracks esthetician licenses as their own distinct credential.
Spas that employ both cosmetologists and estheticians sometimes track them under one generic "license" field, which hides the fact that these are legally distinct credentials with different renewal requirements.
