We are introducing a new LicensE Application Status Lookup tool. This tool will make it easier for employers to track the application status of current and future employees, and it will help academic advisors support students during the license application process. To access the Application Status Lookup tool, individuals will need an applicant's 10-digit PAR number. An applicant may provide the number to anyone who could support their application. For more information, see our press release.
License Information
Per
Wisconsin State Statutes 440.08 (2), the required renewal date for the Manicuring Establishment credential is 03/31/odd years. Should you receive your initial credential in the months leading up to this date, you are still required to renew your license by the statutorily defined date.
All establishments where manicuring is practiced must be licensed as a manicuring establishment. Establishments must also obtain a license before opening a new business, relocating an existing business, or a changing the ownership of the business.
A person who is not licensed under Wis. Stat. 454.06 by the cosmetology examining board may own or operate an establishment, but may not practice barbering, cosmetology, aesthetics, electrology, or manicuring. A person who owns a manicuring establishment shall employ at least one person as a manager who holds a manicuring license and manages the establishment on a full-time basis. The manager of a manicuring establishment shall ensure that the establishment operates in compliance with Wisconsin statutes and rules promulgated by the examining board.
