Kentucky Revised Statutes Title XXVI. Occupations and Professions § 317A.155.Cosmetologists, estheticians, limited stylists, and nail technicians must practice in licensed establishments; services to hospice patients, deceased persons in the care of funeral establishments, and persons suffering from attested medical conditions

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) As used in this section, “funeral establishment” means funeral establishment as defined in KRS 316.010.

(2) Every person practicing as a cosmetologist, esthetician, limited stylist, or nail technician shall practice in an establishment licensed by the board.

(3) Notwithstanding subsection (2) of this section, persons holding an active license from the board as a cosmetologist, esthetician, limited stylist, or nail technician and who practice in salons licensed by the board shall be permitted to render services outside of an establishment licensed by the board for pay, free, or otherwise, to:

(a) A person suffering from a terminal illness and who is receiving the services of a hospice program either at home or at a hospice inpatient unit;

(b) A person who is deceased and in the care of a funeral establishment; or

(c) A person suffering from a medical condition, as attested by a physician in writing, which limits physical mobility to such an extent that it would impose an undue burden on that person to attempt to travel to an establishment licensed by the board.

(4) Cosmetologists, estheticians, limited stylists, and nail technicians who render services authorized in subsection (3) of this section shall have the permission of the owner or administrator of the establishment where the services are rendered and the permission of the person, or their legal representative, upon whom services will be rendered.
