In regard to equipment and chemicals, what does the board ensure?

The focus of the board's regulations regarding equipment and chemicals is primarily on ensuring health and safety for both the professionals using these products and the clients receiving services. This involves establishing standards and guidelines that help prevent injuries, illnesses, or adverse reactions from the use of specific chemicals and tools within the salon environment.

This approach not only fosters a secure working atmosphere but also reinforces the importance of using safe practices in the beauty industry. Adhering to health and safety standards is crucial because it helps protect the well-being of everyone involved in the salon process, from the technicians to the clients. Ensuring health and safety goes beyond just compliance; it demonstrates a commitment to the highest standards of professionalism and care.

While factors such as environmental impact or affordability may be considerations in broader discussions, they are not the primary responsibility of the board in regulating the safety and well-being of salon operations.
