A.

A salon as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 155A.23, subdivision 9, that is located in a nursing home, housing with services entity, or assisted living facility is required to be licensed if any cosmetology services are provided to anyone other than the homebound residents of the nursing home, housing with services entity, or assisted living facility.

(1)

only homebound residents are served by the salon, and nonhomebound residents, staff, family members, or the public are never served by the salon; and

(2)

the use of the unlicensed salon is restricted to:

(a)

board-licensed practitioners of cosmetology services who have homebound service permits and provide services for homebound residents of the facility;

The permit holder may only provide the following services:

(1)

cosmetologists may style, reinforce, or extend hair;

(2)

cosmetologists and nail technicians may remove and apply nail polish; and

(3)

cosmetologists, estheticians, and advanced practice estheticians may remove and apply makeup, except eyelash extensions may not be applied or removed.

C.

Permits have the restrictions in subitems (1) to (6).

(1)

Permits expire on December 31 of the year in which the permit is issued, but are valid only with an active manager's license held by the permit holder.

(2)

One permit covers all events registered by the permit holder with the board for the calendar year.

(3)

Each event must be registered online with the board at least 48 hours prior to the start of the event.

(6)

At each special event, the permit holder must provide a sufficient number of brushes, combs, makeup brushes, and other implements equal to the number of persons receiving cosmetology services at the event, so that only disinfected tools and implements are used on each client.

The hours spent working under a special event permit do not count toward the work hours in a licensed salon required to obtain other licenses under this chapter.

E.

A special event permit holder must not use the permit to provide regulated services in a mobile vehicle or mobile structure that is owned or operated by the permit holder or a board licensee unless the mobile vehicle or mobile structure is licensed as a mobile salon under this part. A licensed mobile salon does not require a special event permit for services offered in the mobile salon.
