Which of the following is NOT allowed in salon restrooms?

Using a salon restroom as a work area is not allowed because salons are required to maintain a sanitary environment that complies with health and safety regulations. Work areas must be designated spaces that meet specific cleanliness and safety standards, ensuring that all beauty services are performed in a professional and hygienic manner.

Salon restrooms should be intended for their primary purpose — personal hygiene. Other options, such as storing cleaning supplies in a designated area, utilizing the restroom for employee breaks (albeit briefly and under proper hygiene considerations), and maintaining hygiene, fall within acceptable practices, provided they adhere to the regulations governing salon operations. Establishing clearly defined areas for work helps in mitigating cross-contamination and ensuring customer and employee safety, which is a fundamental aspect of salon management and operation in compliance with state laws.
