Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — they set only Cosmetology Board fees: $55 salon or mobile salon certificate, $50 initial inspection, $50 booth/special permit, $35 per cosmetologist or esthetician. No med spa or medical-side fees are given.
The following fees shall be assessed by the board for each initial certificate of registration and each annual renewal of such certificate: (a) Cosmetologist, esthetician, manicurist, teacher/instructor, or manager $35.00 (b) Beauty shop or salon, mobile salon, or home care $55.00 (c) Initial inspection fee for salon, mobile salon, or booth rental $50.00 (d) Booth rental permit, special permit, or temporary permit $50.00

← All Louisiana rules and changes · MedSpaRadar is regulatory monitoring and reference: it summarizes public laws, regulations and agency actions and links each to its source. It is not legal, medical, or compliance advice, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship. A summary can lag its source or leave out detail, and monitoring itself can be interrupted — so an absence of alerts means nothing reached you, not that nothing happened.
