Esthetician License in Vermont

Vermont licenses estheticians through the Office of Professional Regulation under the Secretary of State. The COS data provides a brief scope-of-practice description covering massage, cleansing, stimulating, manipulating, and beautifying the scalp, face, or neck using cosmetic preparations. Vermont requires 600 hours of approved esthetics training and passing a third-party NIC examination. No continuing education is required for license renewal. Specific types of criminal convictions may prohibit licensure. Expedited processing is available for military members and spouses. Vermont's scope of practice is somewhat narrower than some states, focusing primarily on scalp, face, and neck rather than full-body esthetics.
