Are nail technicians allowed to work in an unlicensed salon?

Nail technicians are prohibited from working in an unlicensed salon because operating without a license is against state law. This regulation is in place to ensure that all establishments providing nail services adhere to health, safety, and professional standards necessary for client protection. Licensing helps ensure that technicians are properly trained and that the salon meets hygiene and operational guidelines. Working in an unlicensed salon not only poses risks to clients but can also subject the technician to legal consequences, including fines and loss of their license. Therefore, the stance against working in unlicensed establishments is rooted in the commitment to public health and safety.
