Barber in Nevada
Nevada State Barbers' Health and Sanitation Board
Nevada is important to get right: barbers are licensed by the Nevada State Barbers' Health and Sanitation Board — a DIFFERENT board from Nevada cosmetology. While Nevada's cosmetology and nail exams are given by Pearson VUE in five languages, the NEVADA BARBER exam is STATE-ADMINISTERED by the Board's own examiners and is ENGLISH-ONLY. The written/oral portion is 45 multiple-choice plus 5 oral questions in one hour, and you need 75% to pass, followed by a hands-on practical. (Nevada law allows a candidate-paid interpreter, but that is an oral accommodation, not a translated written exam — so we do not list other languages.) A Nevada barber license needs 1,500 barber-school hours. Our multilingual practice questions are a study aid; the real Nevada barber exam is in English.

State rules and fees change often. This table shows only facts confirmed from an official board or vendor source on the date noted; anything unconfirmed is marked “to confirm.” Always verify current requirements with your state board or its testing vendor before you register. Our practice questions are a study aid and never imply your state offers the exam in a language it does not.
