What equipment must a licensed salon have in the working area, appropriate for the services provided?

In a licensed salon, an exhaust fan is essential for ensuring proper air circulation and removing fumes that may arise from various beauty treatments. The presence of an exhaust fan is crucial in maintaining a safe and comfortable working environment for both clients and estheticians. It helps eliminate strong odors, chemicals from products, and excess humidity, which can be produced during services such as hair coloring, skin treatments, and nail services.

While air purifiers and ventilation systems are beneficial for improving indoor air quality, they are not specifically mandated for operations in a salon setting the way that exhaust fans are. Heating lamps may be used in certain treatments, but they are not a fundamental requirement across all services offered in an esthetic salon. Therefore, having an exhaust fan is the most direct requirement that aligns with regulatory health standards for maintaining safe air quality in a working salon environment.
