Nevada board considers emergency license suspension for NN Day Spa amid prostitution allegations

In a recent emergency meeting held by the Nevada State Board of Cosmetology, the board addressed a serious issue concerning the End to End Day Spa in Las Vegas. The meeting, which took place on February 10, 2025, was convened to discuss the potential emergency suspension of the spa's license following a report from law enforcement regarding illicit activity.

The board's executive director, Steven Dom, clarified that the purpose of the meeting was not to impose disciplinary action but to determine whether an immediate suspension of the spa's license was necessary for public health and safety. This decision was prompted by a citation issued to a female employee of the spa for solicitation of prostitution, as reported by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

During the meeting, the board heard from the spa's owner, who was represented by attorney Brett Whipple and an interpreter, as the owner primarily speaks Mandarin. The board was informed that the staff recommendation was against issuing a cease and desist order, as they did not find sufficient grounds to warrant an emergency suspension of the license.

The board members engaged in a brief discussion but ultimately did not raise any objections to the staff's recommendation. This decision reflects the board's commitment to ensuring that any actions taken are based on thorough evaluations of the circumstances surrounding the case.

The outcome of this meeting highlights the board's role in balancing regulatory oversight with the need to protect the community from potential health and safety risks. As the situation develops, residents and stakeholders in the cosmetology industry will be closely monitoring the board's actions and any further implications for the End to End Day Spa.
