Where must a licensee display their license?

A licensee must display their license at their work station to ensure compliance with state regulations regarding the practice of manicuring or cosmetology. This requirement serves several important purposes.

Firstly, visibility of the license at the work station provides a clear indication to clients and coworkers that the individual is a qualified and licensed practitioner. It enhances professionalism and builds trust with clientele, as they can easily verify the credentials of the person providing services.

Secondly, having the license on display promotes accountability, as it signifies that the licensee is subject to the standards and regulations set forth by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. This can deter unlicensed or unqualified individuals from attempting to practice without proper training and credentials.

While the other options might seem plausible for displaying a license, they do not provide the same level of direct access and visibility to clients as having it at the work station. For example, displaying it on the front desk may not guarantee that it is seen by clients receiving services, and placing it in a personal file or salon window may obscure its significance or fail to meet regulatory standards. Thus, the requirement to display the license at the work station is specifically designed to promote transparency and uphold the integrity of the professional licensing system.
