820 IAC 4-2-1 Size and separation

Sec. 1. (a) The only businesses permitted in a public postsecondary or proprietary postsecondary beauty culture school are the teaching of beauty culture. Any other business operation must be: (1) separated by a solid wall from ceiling to floor, with no openings; and (2) accessed only by a separate outside entrance. (b) Public postsecondary or proprietary postsecondary beauty culture schools shall contain at least three thousand (3,000) square feet of usable space. (c) Subsection (b) does not apply to any beauty culture school licensed before July 1, 2001. However, beauty culture schools that were licensed before July 1, 2001, and have less than three thousand (3,000) square feet may not reduce their square footage. Beauty culture schools that were licensed before July 1, 2001, and have more than three thousand (3,000) square feet may not reduce their size to less than three thousand (3,000) square feet. (d) The board may waive the requirements of this section if a beauty culture school applicant can show good cause, such as there is a restriction of space and the beauty culture school has no option to seek a different space. In determining whether good cause exists, the board will consider the types of education programs offered, enrollment numbers, the number of faculty, and any other relevant information presented by the applicant.
