If a salon license is not renewed within one year of its expiration, what must the salon owner do?

If a salon license is not renewed within one year of its expiration, the salon owner is required to apply for a new salon application. This means that the owner must go through the entire application process again as if they are opening a new salon, rather than simply renewing the existing license. This requirement ensures that the salon meets all current regulations, standards, and health codes, which may have changed since the last license was issued.

The necessity for a new application emphasizes the importance of maintaining compliance with the state’s licensing requirements to ensure public safety and proper service in the cosmetology industry. In contrast, simply renewing the license after a year would not address any new regulations or changes that may have arisen during that time.
