Legal Ethical Issues Hairdressing Industry

Why is it illegal to run a business out of your home in the USA?

It’s legal to run a business from your home. It’s not legal to run every kind of business from your home.Some businesses are illegal, no matter where they are. Drug dealer, prostitute, and others.Some businesses are illegal because of health regulations. Bakery, tattoo parlour or other businesses that require inspections.Some businesses are illegal because they disrupt the neighborhood. A nail salon with 10+ customers an hour would likely be prohibited in zoning laws, as the impact on neighbours would be high, even if the business itself is not “bad”. A home-based beautician that only had one appt per hour may be lawful at the same address.But if you want to be an Amazon affiliate who works from home and spends 20 hours a day spamming links to products you get a kick-back on, I know of nowhere in the USA where that business, run out of your home, would be any more illegal than doing it in an office building. You can incorporate and use your home address as your corporation’s address.

What legal issues can be found regarding to hairdressing?

Legal is that a lot of salon owners do not check that their stylists have a license, let alone a license that is up to date. Also, there are a lot of reay harsh chemicals than can damage the scalp permenantly if they aren't used correctly. When I was in beauty school, we made the clients sign a hold harmless agreement so the clients couldn't sue the school if their hair was damaged or they were unhappy with the service. Ethical would be many stylists work on commission, so they are constantly trying to sell you products and services that you don't need and pawning them off as a necessity. Hope that helps :)

What is the legal significance of gaining signed, informed consent to a treament? ( in a beauty salon?

Any procedure or treatment that could possibly cause you damage or permanent alteration of skin or body (such as piercing or tattoo) should be consented to in writing so that the person undergoing that procedure or treatment does not later sue the provider. In order for the consent to be valid for a minor it must be signed by a parent or guardian. Minors do not legally have the capacity to consent.
