In Texas, can the practice of medicine occur at cosmetology salons?
No cosmetology statute limits a salon to exclusively providing cosmetology services and products. In fact, traditionally, salons have offered many non-cosmetology services, such as tanning and body massage. A growing trend is the “medispa” business. At these facilities, both medical and cosmetology services are offered. The cosmetology statute and rules do not prohibit this practice; however, appropriate licenses must be obtained.
