A license is restricted to working in a licensed facility. Under what circumstance can a service be performed at a location other than the licensed facility?

A license is restricted to working in a licensed facility, but there are provisions in the Texas Cosmetology Laws that allow for exceptions under specific circumstances. One such circumstance is when servicing clients who are unable to receive services due to illness or incapacity. This provision recognizes that some individuals may not be able to travel to a salon due to health-related issues, and allowing licensed professionals to perform services in those cases ensures that these clients receive the care they need in a safe and convenient manner.

The other options do not meet the legal criteria set forth by the TDLR for providing services outside of a licensed facility. Home services for clients who simply prefer them are not recognized as valid exceptions. Additionally, services tied to appointments made only through a facility do not provide sufficient justification for working outside licensed spaces. Special offer events also do not fall under the regulatory allowance for off-site services as they are typically conducted within the approved boundaries of a licensed establishment.
