Which question has the greatest fee increase moving from resident to non-resident among the listed professions?

• A. Cosmetologist
• B. Esthetician
• C. Manicurist
• D. Manager Beauty Shop

Answer: (D)

When looking at how licensure fees change for residents versus non-residents, the amount added by being non-resident often depends on the base fee of the license and whether there are separate business or shop-related requirements. The Manager Beauty Shop license is a supervisory, business-focused credential that typically carries a higher base fee and may involve an additional shop or business license component. Because the non-resident surcharge is applied on top of that higher base, the total increase from resident to non-resident is larger than for the other licenses, which are individual practitioner licenses with lower base fees. So, the greater delta comes from the Manager Beauty Shop license.
