What must not be allowed in a licensed facility?

In a licensed facility, it is important to maintain a professional and hygienic environment for both clients and practitioners. Allowing pets or other animals poses several risks, including potential health hazards and allergies. Animals can carry germs and allergens that might affect clients, particularly those with sensitivities or weakened immune systems. Additionally, the presence of animals can distract from the services being offered and may compromise the cleanliness standards required in a salon or spa setting.

On the other hand, hair styling tools, clients with allergies, and natural hair care products are integral to the services provided in such facilities. Hair styling tools are necessary for performing hair care services. Clients with allergies can still be accommodated with appropriate precautions or alternatives. Natural hair care products are essential for providing the services in a manner that promotes health and wellness in clients' hair. Thus, keeping a licensed facility safe and hygienic for all clients significantly involves prohibiting pets or other animals from the space.
