Is it necessary for all salon staff to hold a cosmetology license?

In a salon setting, it is not a requirement for all staff members to hold a cosmetology license; only those who are providing licensed services need to have one. This means that individuals such as receptionists, salon managers, and employees performing non-licensed duties do not need to hold a cosmetology license. This regulation allows for a more flexible staffing arrangement, where licensed professionals focus on service delivery while other staff members manage administrative tasks. Recognizing the distinction between licensed and non-licensed roles is crucial for compliance with state regulations and helps ensure that only qualified individuals perform the necessary cosmetic services that require a license.
