Adopted and Filed
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 147.76, the Board of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences hereby amends Chapter 60, “Licensure of Cosmetologists, Electrologists, Estheticians, Manicurists, Nail Technologists, and Instructors of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences,” and Chapter 61, “Licensure of Salons and Schools of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences”; rescinds Chapter 63, “Sanitation for Salons and Schools of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences,” and adopts a new chapter with the same title; and amends Chapter 64, “Continuing Education for Cosmetology Arts and Sciences,” and Chapter 65, “Discipline for Cosmetology Arts and Sciences Licensees, Instructors, Salons and Schools,” Iowa Administrative Code.
These amendments reorganize and clarify the application requirements for new cosmetology schools. The amendments also revise the definition of a salon and clarify the responsibilities of salon owners and licensees who work in those salons to be consistent with today’s business practices of independent owners operating smaller areas within a larger salon. Sanitation requirements have been updated to be more consistent with national standards. Only technical amendments are made to the continuing education rules.
