(d) A person who holds a current valid license from a board of barbering, hairdressing, manicuring, or esthetics in another state or who is licensed by another state to practice tattooing and permanent cosmetic coloring or to practice body piercing is entitled to a license or endorsement under this chapter without examination or a new period of training in this state.

An instructor license shall state the areas of practice (barbering, hairdressing, manicuring, or esthetics) in which the licensee is qualified to instruct and practice.
