How it works
How Kansas inspects salons
Inspections are done by the Kansas Board of Cosmetology. A new salon is inspected before it may open or before its license is issued, so have everything below in place before you book it.
Each salon is subject to routine inspections at least once every two years.
“at least once every two years.”
We found no inspection form published by the Kansas Board of Cosmetology, so this checklist is built from the state's rules themselves.

What Kansas inspectors check
