Who is responsible for displaying an employee's current license?

• A. The employee
• B. The salon owner
• C. The state board
• D. The clients

Answer: (A)

Displaying a current license is a personal responsibility because the license is issued to the individual and serves as proof of that person’s qualifications to practice. The license must be visible where they work so clients can verify they are legally permitted to provide services. The salon owner is expected to keep workspace compliance and records up to date, but the duty to display the individual’s license rests with the licensee. The state board issues and enforces licensure, and clients don’t bear this responsibility.
