Inspectors with the Division of Professional Licensure (DPL) visited 162 beauty salons, barber shops, and cosmetology shops and schools in Boston last week, to verify license status and ensure compliance with applicable regulations under the Boards of Registration for Barbers and Cosmetologists.
Of the 163 businesses, 56 were cited for violations ranging from unsanitary conditions to employment of unlicensed individuals and unlicensed shops. A list of businesses cited, and a list of businesses in compliance, is below.
Earlier this year, the investigators participated in community-wide sweeps in Yarmouth, Falmouth, Swampscott, Lynn, Braintree, Abington, Hyannis, Allston, Brighton, Springfield, Provincetown and Chatham.
