Does the Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) have jurisdiction over all services provided inside beauty salons?
No, TDLR does not have jurisdiction over all of the services provided inside cosmetology salons. A person is granted the authority to practice certain acts depending on the type of license the person holds. For example, tanning, massage therapy, and permanent makeup are services regulated by the Texas Department of State Health Services, and medical acts are regulated by the Texas Medical Board. A person who offers regulated services or products or practices a regulated profession must comply with the regulations of the applicable regulatory jurisdiction.
