California LawQuestion 94 of 100
On your first day at a new salon, the owner collects your license and locks it in a binder in the back office "so nothing happens to it." What does California law require?
a.The license only needs to be produced if an inspector specifically asks to see it
b.Your license must be displayed in plain view in the establishment where you are working
c.Keeping the original safe at home and a photocopy in the office satisfies the requirement
d.Only the establishment license must be posted; individual worker licenses stay in the personnel file
Explanation
Each licensee's license must be posted in plain view at the establishment where that person works, so clients and inspectors can see it without asking. Storing it in a back-office binder, at home, or producing it only on request does not meet the display requirement. The establishment license must also be posted, but it does not replace the individual manicurist licenses.
