Which statement about restrooms in salons is correct?

• A. They must have a sanitary and functional toilet
• B. They must be heated
• C. They must have a vending machine
• D. They must have a mirror outside the door

Answer: (A)

Restrooms in licensed salons are regulated to ensure basic sanitation and safe use, so the essential requirement is that a restroom must have a sanitary and functional toilet. A sanitary toilet means it’s clean and ready to use, with proper provisions like a reliable water supply and waste disposal, while functional means it operates correctly (no leaks or clogs) and can be used by clients and staff. This supports hygiene, infection control, and overall safety in the salon, which is why it’s the correct statement. Features like heating, vending machines, or a mirror outside the door aren’t regulatory requirements for restrooms, so they aren’t necessary aspects of compliance.
