  •      1. Cosmetology may be practiced in private residences only when the rooms used for the practice are completely separate from any rooms used for living quarters. The rooms used for the practice must be completely and permanently sealed off from the living quarters so that the only entrances to and exits from that portion of the residence used for the practice of cosmetology are from the street. A room used in a private residence for the practice of cosmetology must meet all requirements for cosmetological establishments in NAC 644.310 to 644.385, inclusive, and must:

         (a) Have a ceiling that is not less than 8 feet in height;

         (c) Have toilets which are separate from any toilets used by residents; and

         (d) Have a sign outside of the building denoting the name of the cosmetological establishment.

         2. A private residence in which cosmetology is practiced must be located in a geographical area in which the practice of cosmetology is allowed by local zoning ordinances. If the private residence is not located in such an area, the owner must receive a variance from the appropriate local governing body before applying to the Board for a license for the cosmetological establishment.
