What happens if a license holder does not comply with health and safety standards?

A license holder who does not comply with health and safety standards may face license suspension or revocation because maintaining these standards is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of clients and employees in the cosmetology industry. The regulatory bodies oversee compliance to protect the public and uphold industry standards. When health and safety violations occur, they can lead to serious consequences, including the potential endangerment of clients, which is why strict enforcement actions—such as suspension or revocation of licenses—are implemented to deter non-compliance. This maintains the integrity of the profession and assures that all practitioners meet necessary safety protocols.
