Utah Esthetic License is a two tiered licensee, Master Esthetician and Esthetician, and became a reality on April 18, 2001 when Governor Michael O. Leavitt signed HB 105, raising the bar and setting a higher standard for the esthetic industry in the United States.

"For the two tier Esthetic and Master Esthetic licensing to succeed there were other professionals who attended numerous meetings, made important phone calls, gave suggestions, and met with other licensing boards. To these individuals, I give my most sincere Thanks and Gratitude!"
Interviewing for this article was a wonderful experience. There are two thoughts needing clarification in the article; I did outline and write the scope of practice, but only after many meetings with other aesthetic professionals who gave their input. Also on the exam; I didn't write the Master Esthetic's exam by myself. I was given the task to create it, however, I delegated sections to other qualified Master Estheticians who also possessed European Esthetic education. I considered their individual strengths and expertise. The exam was created and reviewed in committee and then put through the process of making it a legally defensible exam.
