What it is and who needs it.
What the cosmetology school bond actually guarantees
Nevada licenses cosmetology schools through the State Board of Cosmetology under NRS Chapter 644A. The school bond is a tuition-protection guarantee: it stands behind students’ unearned, prepaid tuition so that if a school closes or fails to deliver the training paid for, students are not left empty-handed.
It is a three-party arrangement: the school (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Board together with the school’s students. If a school violates Chapter 644A or fails to refund unearned tuition, a harmed student can recover against the bond.
One honest note on the statute. NRS 644A.720, which had spelled out the school surety-bond requirement, was repealed when Chapter 644 was reorganized into 644A — but the Board still requires a $10,000 school bond as a condition of licensure by rule. Confirm the current requirement with the Board; if it ever no longer applies to you, you should not be sold a bond you don't need.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Board. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your cosmetology school license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
