In which type of establishments are licensees restricted to working?

Licensees are required to work in licensed cosmetology establishments because these locations comply with the regulations and standards set by the cosmetology board or governing body. Licensed establishments ensure that proper health and safety standards are upheld, which include sanitation protocols, the use of approved products, and adherence to licensing requirements for both the business and the professionals providing services.

Working in a licensed cosmetology establishment signifies that the business has passed inspections and is authorized to operate, thereby protecting both the clientele and the professionals. On the other hand, independent beauty shops, home-based salons, and mobile cosmetology services may or may not adhere to the same stringent licensing requirements or health standards necessary to ensure public safety.
