State Regulations
Most states or municipalities have regulations, laws, health/licensing boards, bylaws in place to dictate and regulate the opening, registration, and operation of most beauty & tattooing facilities. No matter which entity is in charge of this process, it is crucial all aspiring students research what their home state and local authorities require when interested in opening their respective studio/clinic.
