BPC §7406 sets statutory DEFINITIONS for the regulated practices. Which of the following is the most accurate consequence of those definitions?
a.Any beauty term in marketing is automatically a licensed practice
b.Definitions only apply to advertising, not to scope of practice
c.An act fits within BBC regulation only when it falls within the statutory definition of cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, electrology, manicuring, or hairstyling; acts outside those definitions are not BBC-regulated even if performed in a salon
d.Anything done in a salon is by definition cosmetology
Explanation
BPC §7406 defines the regulated practices. Whether a particular act is within BBC jurisdiction depends on whether it matches the statutory definition of cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, electrology, manicuring or hairstyling. Acts outside those definitions (e.g., body art, medical procedures) are regulated elsewhere or not at all by the BBC.
