Salon Inspection

You can protect your salon license as a salon owner, inspecting your salon yourself before your salon receives an inspection report from the board. Please note that this inspection checklist may not take into account all laws and rules reviewed on an inspection. Please review the following list to ensure compliance with your State laws and rules regarding the practice of cosmetology, including manicuring and esthetician services.

For both health and safety concerns at a cosmetology school or hair salon, the self-inspection covers the display of licenses, types of licenses, designated licensed salon manager, independent contractors or booth renters, photo identification, last inspection report, laws and rules, unregulated services, improper equipment, general practices, dispensary, towels and linens, cabinets and supplies, bathroom, walls and ceilings and floors, electrical lightning and ventilation, chairs, work areas, plumbing, sinks and shampoo bowls, sanitation, manicure stations, pedicure stations, esthetician stations, fire extinguisher and first aid and waste.

Work ahead of the cosmetology board, in order to be informed about the inspection program, know what is required of your salon workers and you as a salon owner in order to ensure compliance and safety standards. Need a cleaning form? Try our hair salon cleaning checklist template.
