If a salon wishes to add other services, they must be approved before beginning to offer services.

• A. Before beginning to offer services
• B. After beginning to offer services
• C. Only with a license renewal
• D. Approval is not required

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that expanding what a salon offers must be reviewed and approved before any new service is actually provided. This regulatory step ensures that all aspects of the new service—training, equipment, sanitation, and safety—meet the board’s standards and that practitioners are qualified to perform it. Starting to offer a new service without this approval can lead to disciplinary action, as the operation would be outside the permitted scope. Approving only at license renewal isn’t correct because renewal covers the existing license, not a new service addition, and saying approval isn’t required contradicts the board’s oversight. Therefore, the correct approach is to obtain approval before beginning to offer the new services.
