If a salon fails an inspection, what action does the board take?

When a salon fails an inspection, the board typically charges a fee for a re-inspection of the premises. This process allows the salon an opportunity to correct any violations or issues identified during the initial inspection. The imposition of a re-inspection fee reflects the standard regulatory practice of ensuring compliance without immediately resorting to punitive actions.

The other options, while they may seem valid in certain contexts, don’t represent the typical procedure following a failed inspection. For instance, immediate closure or fines may occur if there are severe violations that pose immediate risks to public safety, but these actions are not standard for every failed inspection. The approach taken by the board emphasizes corrective action and compliance over punitive measures, aligning with the goal of maintaining safety and standards within the cosmetology industry.
