Where is a salon not permitted to be located?

A salon is not permitted to be located in a residence because of regulations pertaining to health and safety standards in the cosmetology industry. Salons must adhere to strict sanitation guidelines, including appropriate waste disposal, access to running water, and proper ventilation. Residences typically do not meet these criteria, which could pose health risks to clients and staff. Additionally, the operation of a salon from a home can create conflicts with local zoning laws or residential codes, which often restrict commercial operations in residential areas to maintain the character of neighborhoods. As a result, salons must be situated in designated commercial or business areas where they can meet these legal and safety standards effectively.
