Inspectors are out to protect the public and ensure that salons and licensees are following the laws and rules established for the Washington Cosmetology industry. But just as important, they are there to be ambassadors to assist you in any way possible for you or your business to be successful. Many times it is a routine inspection, but if they are responding to a complaint, the inspector will let you know.
• Licensing: The inspector will check the salon shop and operator licenses first to see if they are valid and current. Many licensees forget to attach a current photo to their operator license. Check your photo; if it has been awhile since you have updated the photo it may be time for a new one.
• Keep lids on containers: Many times Inspectors find trash cans without the lids on them. Be sure to keep them on so they do not contaminate other items in your area.
• Dirty combs and brushes: It can be hectic when a shop is busy to throw combs and brushes back into a tray, but think about what could occur if that previous client had lice? Remind yourself to keep those clean and disinfect after each use.
• Ask Questions: Many times the licensee receives a violation based on bad information from another co-worker. If you’re not sure about what to use for clean-up, or whether you need a certain license, ask the inspector. They are there to help. Refer to the brochure the inspector gives to you for a basic understanding of what they do and why it is important
If you moved and did not notify the department directly with your change of address use one of the options listed below to update your information. It is important to remember that submitting a change of address form to the United States Postal Service (USPS) will only stay in place approximately 30-60 days and the USPS does not notify the Board of these changes. After that period, most mail is returned to sender. Many licensees learned this the hard way during the last renewal when they did not receive their renewal information or even their license.

Cosmetologist, Manicurist, Estheticians, Barbers, Instructors, Salon/Shops, Personal Services Operators, and Mobil Services Operators can renew licenses online. Watch for your Notice to Renew in the mail and if you are eligible, you will receive a password and the website address. Visa or MasterCard are required for online payment.
If you saved $12 a month over a two year period you would have saved enough money to pay for your operator renewal * and two years of salon shop renewals.
*This amount applies to licensees with only one endorsement. To accommodate for additional endorsements simply add to this amount! $14 a month for two endorsements, $17 a month for three endorsements and $20 a month if you have all four endorsements.
NOTICE: If you pay your license renewal fee through an automatic bill payer system please make sure that you include the code and license numbers with your payment so we can apply your payment properly. |
