When can an inspection of any Ohio licensed salon be conducted?

An inspection of any Ohio licensed salon can be conducted during regular business hours or when no hours are posted because this allows inspectors to evaluate the salon's operations in a typical setting. Regular business hours imply that the salon is open to clients, giving the inspector the chance to observe the practices and conditions during normal business activity. Inspecting during these hours ensures that the facilities are compliant with health and safety regulations as they would be functioning at full capacity—this includes assessing the cleanliness, equipment, and overall salon environment.

Inspections conducted when no hours are posted also ensure compliance with regulatory standards at all times. This flexibility allows inspectors to ensure that salons maintain high standards, regardless of specific scheduling or closure times that might otherwise limit oversight. In contrast, inspections that occur solely after hours or by special appointment might not provide a complete view of the salon's day-to-day operations, which could impact the effectiveness of the inspection process.
