Is it legal for one person to use another stylist's license for work in Tennessee?

Using another stylist's license for work is illegal in Tennessee. Each cosmetologist must have their own license to legally provide services. This regulation is in place to ensure that all practicing cosmetologists meet the state's education, training, and examination requirements necessary to maintain high standards of safety and professionalism in the beauty industry.

The law emphasizes accountability and public safety; allowing one individual to use another's license could lead to a multitude of issues, including inadequate service and potential harm to clients. Each stylist’s license is tied directly to their qualifications and ongoing compliance with operational standards set by the state. Therefore, using someone else's license undermines these regulatory requirements and can result in severe penalties for both the individual using the license and the licensed stylist.
