What type of cosmetology service may an Ohio licensee practice in a licensed salon?

• A. Any valid cosmetology service
• B. Services within their scope of practice
• C. Only services performed by a supervisor
• D. Unlicensed services

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is scope of practice. A licensed cosmetologist in Ohio may perform only the services that fall within their defined scope of practice, and only while working in a licensed salon. This ensures they are practicing within training and legal boundaries and keeping client safety in mind. That’s why the correct approach is to perform services that are within their scope.

Doing any service outside that scope isn’t allowed, and unlicensed services are illegal. The other options imply either performing anything deemed valid, requiring a supervisor for all work, or providing services without any license, none of which align with how practice is regulated.
