No person shall operate an establishment unless the owner has
obtained a license issued by the board. A separate enclosed area inside an
establishment that is operated as an independent business for the purpose of
providing barbering and cosmetology services shall be considered its own
establishment and shall not operate unless an establishment license is
obtained. To determine what defines an independent contractor versus an
employee, persons should contact the Iowa division of labor.
(1) The owner shall complete a board-approved
application form accompanied by the appropriate fees payable by check or money
order to the board of barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences. The fees are
nonrefundable. The application shall be completed according to the instructions
contained in the application and submitted 30 days prior to the anticipated
opening day. If the application is not completed according to the instructions,
the application will not be reviewed by the board.
(2) Each establishment shall meet the
requirements for sanitary conditions established in 645-Chapter 63 to be
eligible for licensing. The establishment may be inspected for compliance with
sanitation rules within 12 months following the issuance of the
establishment
license.
a. The
establishment license may be
for a fixed location or a location that is readily movable.
(1) Stationary establishment. A stationary
establishment license shall be issued for a specific location. A change in
location or site of a stationary establishment shall result in the cancellation
of the existing license and necessitate application for a new license and
payment of the fee required by 645-subrule 5.2(7). A change of address without
a change of actual location shall not be construed as a new site.
(2) Readily movable establishment. A readily
movable establishment license shall be issued for a permanent physical address.
The licensee is required to provide a permanent physical address for board
correspondence. A readily movable establishment may operate in a legal parking
spot or on private property, with the permission of the owner or the owner's
designee, anywhere in the state of Iowa, provided the readily movable
establishment is operating in compliance with applicable federal and state
transportation, environmental, and sanitary regulations, including those in
this chapter and in 645-Chapter 63.
b. Establishment owner's contact information.
The listed owner of either a stationary or readily movable establishment must
update the board within 30 days of a change in contact information, which
includes telephone number, email address, and mailing address.
(3) Business may commence at the
establishment following activation of the license.
(4) Incomplete applications that have been on
file in the board office for more than two years shall be considered invalid
and shall be destroyed. The records will be maintained after two years only if
the applicant submits a written request to the board.
(5) An
establishment license is not
transferable.
a. A change in ownership of an
establishment shall require the issuance of a new license.
b. An establishment cannot be sold if
disciplinary actions are pending.
c. If an establishment owner sells the
establishment, that owner must send the license certificate and a report of the
sale to the board within ten days of the date on which the sale is final. The
owner of the establishment on record shall retain responsibility for the
establishment until the notice of sale is received in the board
office.
d. The board may request
legal proof of the ownership transfer.
e. If the name or the address of an
establishment changes, the owner shall notify the board within 30 days of such
change. Additionally, the owner shall return the current certificate and pay
the reissued certificate fee as specified in rule
645-5.5 (147,157).
