Can cosmetologists perform services in clients' homes?

Cosmetologists are allowed to perform services in clients' homes, but they must do so in accordance with licensing regulations and sanitation guidelines. This means that while mobile services can be offered, the cosmetologist is still required to comply with the same standards set forth by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for cleanliness, safety, and professional conduct that they would while working in a salon environment.

Specific regulations dictate how services should be conducted to ensure client safety and hygiene, such as using sanitized equipment, maintaining a clean work area, and following proper protocols to prevent the spread of infections. This adherence to regulations maintains professional standards in the industry and protects both the cosmetologist and the client during in-home services.

This guideline ensures that clients receive quality services regardless of the location, emphasizing the importance of following established protocols that are essential in all aspects of cosmetology practice.
