For what purpose does the Board conduct annual inspections of licensed establishments?

The Board conducts annual inspections of licensed establishments primarily to ensure compliance with laws. This is a systematic approach to verify that salons and other cosmetology facilities are adhering to the established standards set forth by the Mississippi State Board of Cosmetology. Ensuring compliance protects public health and safety by confirming that establishments follow hygiene protocols, maintain safe practices, and meet operational regulations as required by law.

Aesthetic quality, customer satisfaction, and the promotion of new services are important aspects of running a cosmetology business, but they are not the primary focus of the Board's inspections. Instead, the inspections are a critical regulatory function aimed at upholding the legal and health standards necessary for safe and professional cosmetology services.
