Board Inspections
The Board has received notification of an individual impersonating our Inspectors in the Johnston, Harnett, Forsyth and Rowan counties. Reports indicate the inpersonator is demanding payment either over the phone or in person and licensees are encouraged to contact the police regarding any threats. Board inspectors carry identification and salon staff are welcome to request to see it.

Continuing Education
New regulations significantly change the administration of cosmetic art continuing education for the Board, licensees and providers. We hope the following list will assist licensees in the transition.
Effective April 1, 2012 licensees must:
- Maintain records of course title, description, date, address of location and number of hours earned
- Ensure at least 50% of subject matter broadens the knowledge of the cosmetic art profession (instructors – 50% teacher training techniques/and enhance the ability to communicate)
- After completion of these requirements date and sign affirmation of course completion. All licensees may be subject to audit and must provide records of course title, description, date, address of location and number of hours attended if requested by the Board. (All Board audits will review actual course attendance hours. Licensees must complete a minimum of 8 hours of CE per year of licensure.)
Course providers no longer need submit course applications, packets, lesson plans, schedules or attendee information directly to the Board. Should you have any questions or if we can be of other assistance please do not hesitate to contact our office.

A disinfectant jar located at each individual styling station, including manicuring tables, is not necessary.

Licensee/Students should have, at each station, a closed container for disinfected implements and a closed container for soiled implements.
Dermaplaning, microblading and needling are not within the scope of practice of our licensees. § 88B2. Definitions.
