Arizona Board of Cosmetology
Laws and Rules

**The Arizona Board of Cosmetology recognizes the need to update rule R4-10-115 to allow for 30 days to file a motion for rehearing or review of the Board decision, and plans to do so as soon as possible. Although there are inconsistencies between the rule and the Arizona Revised Statues governing the cosmetology board, the Board complies with statute in regards to timeframes for rehearing and review.

NEW LAWS & RULES:

• Designated as the manager of the salon:
  A.R.S. §32-541(C) requires that all salons in the state of Arizona have an individual "designated as the manager of the
      salon". Effective August 2, 2012, this manager may, but is no longer required to, hold a personal license to be designated as the   
      manager. Salon owners and managers must always remember that the Board's Rule, A.A.C. R4-10-113 specifies the manager's
      duties and responsibilities as follows:

              R4-10-113. Establishment Management
              A. The manager of each establishment shall ensure that:
                  1. Licenses, notices, and the Board's most recent inspection sheet are prominently displayed;
                  2. The establishment and all licensees in a salon, school, or a mobile services area have current licenses;
                  3. Infection control and safety standards are maintained.
              B. The Salon and school owner and salon and school manager or director shall be responsible for all violations enumerated in
                  subsection (A), occurring within the salon, school, or mobile service areas.
              C. If a salon owner rents or leases space within the salon to a person who obtains a separate salon license, that second 
                   licensee
                  and their salon manager and the owner shall each be responsible for all violations of requirements enumerated in subsection
                  (A) occurring within the second licensee's portion of the salon, and are each responsible for the common area.
