§ 7.76. Floor space.
(a) The floor area of a salon operated by one licensee must have a minimum area of 180 square feet with a minimum width of 10 feet. An additional area of at least 60 square feet is required for each additional licensee in the salon. The Board, upon an applicant’s request, may grant a variance from the space requirements concerning a salon which the Board believes is reasonable.
(b) Salons opened prior to September 15, 1976, which have been operating with one cosmetologist must have sufficient floor space to properly install the equipment with regard to the health and safety of the patrons of the cosmetology salon. It is suggested that the floor space be a minimum of 10 feet by 12 feet or 120 square feet, with 60 square feet for each additional operator. The Board, after examination of the salon’s layout, may grant variance from the salon space requirements which the Board believes is reasonable.
