Nevada is two-step: after 1,500 school hours (NAC 643.660) you pass an exam and become a Licensed Apprentice (age 16.5+), then you need 18 months as a licensed apprentice before the barber exam (NRS 643.070); the apprenticeship comes after school and does not replace it. Licensed cosmetologists can skip the apprentice stage with 400 hours of barber-school training (NRS 643.085). The high school requirement is from NAC 643.010 for apprentice applicants.
