Pennsylvania Statutes Title 63 P.S. Professions and Occupations (State Licensed) § 563. License required; place of furnishing services

(a) No person shall practice barbering who is not a licensed barber, with the exception that nonlicensed persons may shampoo hair under the supervision of a barber-manager, barber-owner or barber-teacher. No licensed barber shall practice, or attempt to practice, barbering in any place other than a licensed barber shop or licensed cosmetology shop, except that any licensed barber in a licensed barber shop or licensed cosmetology shop may furnish barber services to persons at their place of residence or in institutions in cases of sickness, incapacitation, confinement, and other emergencies: Provided, however, That nothing contained in this section shall be construed to include family members of the same household, hospitals or colleges, and private schools for children, cosmetology shops or schools of cosmetology, except that it shall be unlawful and a violation of this act for any person to employ or to accept employment, in any such shops, parlors or schools, who has been refused a license by the board.

(b) A licensed barber over sixty-five years of age may operate a one-chair barber shop located in a senior citizen center which is eligible for funding from the State Lottery Fund and for which no manager's license shall be required: Provided, however, That the shop is licensed under this subsection and is located within real property owned or leased by the municipality which operates the senior citizen center. Shops licensed under this subsection shall comply with board regulations pertaining to sanitary conditions, space and equipment, except for the requirement to display a sign and barber pole. Shops licensed under this subsection shall display in a conspicuous place at the shop entrance a notice advising the public that the services therein are available only to clients of the senior citizen center. Shops licensed under this subsection shall be subject to the same fees imposed pursuant to this act for the issuance and biennial renewal of a barber shop license.
