What must an individual provide to have their license reinstated?

To have a cosmetology license reinstated, an individual must provide proof that the violation has ceased. This requirement ensures that the individual has addressed and remedied the issues that led to the suspension or revocation of their license. It demonstrates to the Pennsylvania State Board of Cosmetology that the licensee is now compliant with all applicable laws and regulations, and that any previously identified problems have been resolved.

This provision is crucial because it protects the public and upholds the integrity of the profession. Simply paying a fine, obtaining a letter from a salon owner, or gathering signatures from clients does not substantiate that the individual has corrected their behavior or adherence to regulations. The focus is on proving compliance and responsibility moving forward, which is fundamental for maintaining safety and professionalism within the cosmetology field.
