Who is responsible for ensuring that all employees follow state regulations in a salon?

The salon owner holds the primary responsibility for ensuring that all employees adhere to state regulations within the establishment. This role encompasses not only compliance with health and safety standards but also ensuring that all practicing employees possess the necessary licenses and certifications as dictated by state law.

While the salon manager and employees play critical roles in the daily operations and compliance efforts, it is ultimately the owner who is accountable for creating a culture of compliance, providing necessary training, and maintaining proper procedures to uphold state regulations. Regular inspections by state inspectors are meant to assess compliance rather than to enforce it directly, thus underscoring the owner’s responsibility to maintain a lawful and regulated environment in the salon.
