What is prohibited regarding animals in licensed salons, schools, or shops?

In licensed salons, schools, or shops, using animals in any procedure or service is prohibited to ensure the highest standards of hygiene, safety, and health for both clients and staff. The presence of animals can pose various risks, including allergenic reactions, the transmission of diseases, and disruptions to a professional environment. This is particularly relevant in settings where cleanliness and sanitation are paramount, as animals can introduce hair, dander, and other contaminants.

Having service animals present is permitted under the law, as they provide essential support to individuals with disabilities. Therapy animals, which are trained to provide comfort and support, may also be allowed under specific guidelines in certain situations. Furthermore, allowing pet animals for client comfort could also lead to similar hygiene and safety concerns, which is why this practice is discouraged in the regulated environments of salons, schools, and shops.

This prohibition is in place to maintain a safe and sanitary environment where clients can receive services without the added complications that animals may bring.
