State Board Of Barbering & Cosmetology (Filing an Appeal).

For California Estheticians:

Has anyone gone through the appeal process with Barbercosmo? State inspector came for the random inspection and the esthetician who rents her room from me had 2 violations

1. Towels not being stored in the closed cabinets

*(The Esthy wasn't working in her room that day, massage therapist thought she was doing a nice thing by putting the Esthy's towels, folded in her room. Massage Therapist are not governed by the Stateboard so she doesn't know the rules and regulations.

2. Treatment table not clean ( because the "clean folded" towels that were put on her treatment bed by the kind massage therapist).

So guess who get's to pay for the citation?? Me..the owner of the establishment. Also I get the "ding" on my record and if the Esthy was there that day, she would get a ding as well. I have been in this business for 15 yrs with a golden record....until this.

So I am wondering if anyone has filed any appeals and if the DRC is in Sacramento? When I call I am put on hold for a very long time.

Also..I've learned a lot about rules and regulations in the past 2 weeks of my research. So there are some things I've dropped off my menu.

They can not enter a room if no licensed Esthetician is on site when they come to inspect. In this case, I happen to be working when he came. My renter called the board and they did say they can open cabinets while inspecting the room, of course I was walking around with him. Check out the violation fees for Ca. if you deny them to inspect.

Section	1st Violation	2nd Violation	3rd Violation	Waivable
7313. Access to Establishment for Inspection	250	500	750	No

I was just at a nail shop and the inspector made everyone stop working while they inspected. I didn't think that was legal either but I know they open cabinets and can inspect inside if its unlocked.
