Direct sources. Clear status. Practical public information.
Reviewed November 7, 2026 · Kentucky · current 201 KAR 12:060. Kentucky’s inspection rule places several public records in the same physical setting, but each answers a different question.
Three public proofs
| Displayed record | Question it helps answer | What it does not prove alone |
|---|---|---|
| Practitioner license or permit with picture | Which credential is posted for the individual at the visible work area? | That every possible service is within scope, current, safe, or properly performed. |
| Licensed facility’s license | Which establishment license is posted in an accessible, conspicuous area? | The status of every worker, product, service, inspection issue, or other permit. |
| Most recent inspection report | What does the latest posted inspection record state? | That no later event, correction, complaint, enforcement action, or status change exists. |
The regulation also addresses the manager’s posted license, student permits in schools, inspection access, and an entrance sign showing the establishment name as registered with the Kentucky Board of Cosmetology.
Salon public-record check
- Match the person, picture, credential type, facility, and visible work area without photographing or posting private customer information.
- Read the facility license and practitioner credential as separate records.
- Record the date and exact wording of the most recent posted inspection report.
- Use the Kentucky Board of Cosmetology’s current official route for status questions rather than inferring current standing from an old photo or screenshot.
- Pause for the board or a qualified professional before making a consequential licensure, employment, service-scope, or enforcement conclusion.
Evidence boundary
This guide explains a current public-display rule. It does not independently certify any salon, practitioner, inspection result, product, service, or present licensure status. Absence from one checked page or one display is not used here to claim non-licensure or wrongdoing.
