What does the Board do in cases of unethical behavior or misconduct?

The Board is responsible for maintaining professional standards in the cosmetology industry, and when allegations of unethical behavior or misconduct arise, it takes these matters seriously. By investigating the claims, the Board ensures that all practitioners are held to the ethical and professional standards set forth in the regulations. Should the investigation find substantiating evidence of wrongdoing, the Board is authorized to impose disciplinary actions. This could involve penalties such as fines, suspensions, or even revocation of licenses, which serve as a deterrent against future violations and help maintain public trust in the cosmetology profession.

The approach to addressing unethical behavior ensures that consumer safety and professional integrity are prioritized, showing that the Board is proactive in upholding the laws and regulations governing the practice in North Dakota.
