Is it legal to share tools between clients without sanitizing them in Texas?

Sharing tools between clients without proper sanitation is illegal in Texas, as established by the TDLR (Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation) regulations. The laws are designed to protect public health by ensuring that all tools and instruments used in cosmetology services are properly disinfected after each use. This practice helps prevent the transmission of infections and ensures a safe environment for both clients and professionals.

The requirement for sanitization applies universally, regardless of the material of the tools or the consent of clients. This strict adherence to sanitation standards is vital in maintaining the integrity and safety of cosmetology practices and demonstrates the commitment to hygiene and safety in the industry.
