157.13  Violations.

1.  It is unlawful for a person to employ an individual to practice cosmetology arts and sciences unless that individual is licensed or has obtained a temporary permit under this chapter. It is unlawful for a licensee to practice with or without compensation in any place other than a licensed salon, a licensed school of cosmetology arts and sciences, or a licensed barbershop as defined in section 158.1, except that a licensee may practice at a location which is not a licensed salon or school of cosmetology arts and sciences under extenuating circumstances arising from physical or mental disability or death of a customer. It is unlawful for a licensee to claim to be a licensed barber, but it is lawful for a licensed cosmetologist to work in a licensed barbershop.

2.  If the owner or manager of a salon does not comply with the sanitary rules adopted under section 157.6 or fails to maintain the salon as prescribed by rules of the department, the department may notify the owner or manager in writing of the failure to comply. If the rules are not complied with within five days after receipt of the written notice by the owner or manager, the department shall in writing order the salon closed until the rules are complied with. It is unlawful for a person to practice in a salon which has been closed under this section. The county attorney in each county shall assist the department in enforcing this section.
