What aspect of public health does the board aim to protect?

The primary aim of the North Dakota Board of Cosmetology is to protect public health, welfare, and safety. This focus ensures that cosmetology practices, including hair cutting, skin care, and nail services, are performed in a manner that minimizes risks to both the clients and practitioners. Regulations set forth by the board help maintain sanitation standards, proper training for cosmetologists, and the safe handling of cosmetic products, which in turn safeguards against the spread of infections, allergic reactions, and other health-related issues.

By prioritizing public health and safety, the board establishes a framework within which beauty services can be efficiently delivered without compromising the well-being of individuals. This approach not only supports the integrity of the cosmetology profession but also fosters public trust in beauty services as a safe option for personal care.
