Adriane in Red Oak, Texas 44 months ago	You must contact the texas state board of cosmetology and for a fee of 150 dollars you can have your licence transferred also the state board where your licence was issued must provide proof of your licencing there. - Was this comment helpful?

Hi I have been inquiring about the same thing I am not ready to move yet but I am thinking of relocating from South Florida to Austin, Texas. I have been told that I have to take the Texas exam I am not sure but I think New York is like Florida there is not reciprocacy with Texas. Anyway I found the Milady exam preparation online very helpfull since I got my license in the 1970's and back then there wasn't a separate license for estheticians I had to go to beauty school and get a master cosmetologist license. Even thou I have some knowledge of anatomy etc I need to study all over again to be able to pass this text :) Here is the link to Milady. www.miladyonline.cengage.com/Esthetics.html - Was this comment helpful?

Vicki Rae in Phoenix, Arizona 21 months ago	I am a licenced esthetcian in Arizona plus have 2 years of work experience. Does states like Texas let you use your work hours towards obtaining license. Arizona requires 600 hours where Texas is I think 750. Arizona has reciprocity....does Texas? - Was this comment helpful? Yes (8) / No Reply - Report abuse

I have license in MA with 600 hours as well and I already contacted TX state board, they don't count any exp toward your new license. You need to contact them and they will send you instruction how to transfer license.. Though I found them very unclear - they talking about transfer fee, but where and how you will take extra hours - I have no idea. Because they also don't count any continues education in your state towards new license. Basically you have to get missing hours in TX as far as I understood. 150 hours its like 2 month of full-time school so I'm not sure i will be able to do that Maybe better to call them. - Was this comment helpful?

Thanks Hello Lanka, I just moved here 2mth ago from NY. The requirements to tranfer for a Fl license is only 250 hrs and you'll need a letter of lincensure certification from Albany for that you need to call them get the Address and send them $25. You also will need a certificate of HIV/AIDS class of 4hrs. You have to mail both those things oh you also have to pay $85. You can go on line do your application and pay the $85. The website is DBPR or just google it. I hope this was helpful, good luck. Sadhia - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

Vickirae in Phoenix, Arizona 18 months ago	Arizona is a reciprocity state...so as long as you have a current licence all you have to do is pay around $150.00 to get your AZ license. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No (1) Reply - Report abuse
Nancy in Hartland, Wisconsin 16 months ago	I am from Wisconsin and I am wanting to move to Arizonia in the next 6 months I have worked in the business for 26 years as a licensed Massage therapist, Cosmetologist and a licensed Aesthetician. what will it take and who do I contact to transfer my license? - Was this comment helpful?

Vicki Rae in Phoenix, Arizona 16 months ago	It is easy in Arizona they have reciprocity so you only have to pay the fee which I think is around $110.00. You would contact the Arizona Board of Cosmotology. There are always jobs available in massage and hair...skin fewer but with the dual license it gives you a heads up. You should do well here. You would have no problems getting into resort work if you wanted368. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
Alexandria in Ballston Spa, New York 15 months ago	I went to esthetics school in Austin but got married and moved to VA as soon as I graduated so I never took the TX State Board. I now have a VA Esthetics License (for the past 3yrs). I am about to move back to TX. Will my VA license transfer and what do I need to do to get my TX esthetics license? - Was this comment helpful?

sereneiam in Warrenton, Virginia 14 months ago	Oh by the way I am credentialed and NCEA certified ;; if that means anything ....to these states?? Its all about the Equity for these folks can you believe 150.00 to exchange lic states?? or better yet a penalty for working un -licensed in a state that refuses to review and accept your application for reciprocity OMG~ What have we become??? slaves?? - Was this comment helpful?

sereneiam in Warrenton, Virginia 14 months ago	I have taken NCEA Test - and it is difficult and would make a wonderful national credential YET it is not recognized like it should be!

Nancy in Hartland, Wisconsin 14 months ago	I agree, the only theing is they will get you coming and going with a national exam fee and in most States a state fee as well. Trust me I am a massage therapist as well and I am nationally certified and it is now requied and have been for 10 years and they finally made it required by the State of Wisconsin for a State Lisence as well for CEU purposes. Great idea however more money for the provider. My point is, is a national certification going to take the place of the state licensing CEU's and fees in all statesor will you pay double fees. In WI you will have to pay your National and your State Fees. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

Thank you, Alexandria I never bothered with CIDESCO because I have no interest in massage and nails. These days, the highest esthetician certification is to become NCEA Certified. You can read about it (and CIDESCO and ITEC) here: www.nceacertified.tv. It's a tough exam and requires continuing education units to keep your certification, but it is worth it. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
