By this complaint, the Florida State Board of Cosmetology seeks to revoke, annul, withdraw or suspend the license of Frankel-Smith of Florida, Inc., on the grounds they did allow Becky Perry and Lois Vitola to practice Cosmetology in their salon without having a master cosmetologist present, in violation of Section 477.02(4), Florida Statutes.

The respondent acknowledged guilt of the offenses as alleged and advised that the situation with respect to having a master cosmetologist in the salon at all times had been straightened out at the corporate level, and it would not happen again. They now have 2 master cosmetologist present at the salon to cover all hours.

RECOMMENDED that Frankel Smith of Florida be issued a letter of reprimand. DONE AND ENTERED this 3rd day of July, 1975, in Tallahassee, Florida.
