Which licenses may be held by individuals who work in or lease space in a salon according to board rules?

• A. Medical assistant, dentist, and paramedical licenses
• B. Cosmetology license only
• C. Cosmetology, aesthetics, nail, advanced training, or instructor licenses
• D. Barber license only

Answer: (C)

In a salon setting, the staff allowed to work or lease space are those whose licenses cover cosmetology-related services. The licenses that fit this scope include cosmetology, aesthetics, nail technology, advanced training, or instructor licenses, because each of these authorizes practice within the salon environment under the board’s rules. Licenses from medical fields (medical assistant, dentist, paramedical) are outside the cosmetology scope and aren’t intended to authorize salon services. A barber license is specific to barbering and isn’t counted among the licenses that permit working in a general salon under these rules. So the best answer lists the licenses that align with performing cosmetology or teaching/advanced training within a salon.
