A. The State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering shall not issue

a license for a cosmetology or barber establishment until an

inspection has been made of the salon and equipment, including the

sanitary facilities thereof. Temporary approval pending inspection

may be made upon sworn affidavit by the license applicant that all

requirements have been met. No license shall be issued for a

cosmetology or barber establishment to be operated in a private home

or residence unless the salon is located in a room or rooms not used

or occupied for residential purposes.

B. 1. Except as otherwise provided in the Oklahoma Cosmetology

and Barbering Act, it shall be unlawful for any person to practice

cosmetology or barbering in any place other than a licensed

establishment or school licensed by the Board. A person may provide

services outside of a licensed establishment if his or her services

do not require licensing under this act and shall not be required to

receive an establishment license for the facility where his or her

services are being provided and may work in a licensed

establishment.

2. In an emergency such as illness, invalidism, or death, a

licensed operator may perform cosmetology or barbering services for

a person by appointment in a place other than a licensed cosmetology

or barber establishment or cosmetology or barber school.

C. A person licensed as a cosmetologist may perform cosmetology

services in a barber establishment. A person licensed as a barber

may perform barbering services in a cosmetology establishment. Any

salon which provides both cosmetology and barbering services must

obtain a license from the Board.
