What must not be engaged in by licensees under any circumstances?

Licensees in the cosmetology field must adhere to strict regulations to maintain the integrity of their profession and ensure public safety. Engaging in any of the actions listed not only violates these regulations but can also result in disciplinary action or revocation of their licenses.

Providing services without a valid license is a clear transgression, as licensing ensures that practitioners have met the required education and training standards, allowing them to perform services safely and effectively.

Laminating a license may seem harmless, but it can alter its appearance and make it difficult to verify its authenticity. Such modifications can lead to issues regarding its legitimacy and compliance with state regulations.

Allowing others to use one's license is also prohibited since licenses are personal and reflect the qualifications and education of the individual license holder. Sharing or using someone else’s license constitutes fraudulent activity and misrepresentation of credentials.

Collectively, all these actions undermine the regulatory framework designed to protect consumers and uphold the standards of the cosmetic industry. Therefore, it is essential for licensees to refrain from these behaviors to comply with Tennessee's cosmetology laws.
