The Issue Whether Respondent, Elaine Jordan, doing business as Park Avenue Coiffures, did practice cosmetology without a valid Florida cosmetology license. Whether the Board should revoke, annul, withdraw or suspend the license of Respondent.
Findings Of Fact Respondent, Elaine Jordan, was practicing cosmetology as charged by the Board by shampooing the hair of a customer in the salon owned by Elaine Jordan doing business as Park Avenue Coiffures. Respondent holds Registration No. 18844 for the salon doing business as Park Avenue Coiffures. Respondent Elaine Jordan is not a registered, licensed cosmetologist. Notice of Service was entered without objection and marked Exhibit 1. The Complaint with the license attached thereto was entered into evidence as Exhibit 2 without objection. The witness was duly sworn.
The Issue Whether Respondent committed the offenses described in the Administrative Complaint? If so, what penalty should be imposed?
Findings Of Fact Based upon the record evidence, the following Findings of Fact are made: Respondent is now, and has been at all times material hereto, the owner and operator of Beauty Salon Mayelin Unisex (Salon), a cosmetology salon located at 1442 Northeast 163rd Street in North Miami Beach, Florida. The Salon was first licensed by the Department on December 19, 1990. Respondent has never been licensed to practice cosmetology in the State of Florida. Her application for licensure is currently pending. Charles E. Frear is an inspector with the Department. On May 16, 1990, Frear went to 1442 Northeast 163rd Street with the intention of inspecting a licensed cosmetology salon operating under the name "Hair to Hair." When he arrived at the address, Frear noticed that the sign outside the establishment reflected that Beauty Salon Mayelin Unisex now occupied the premises. The Salon was open for business. Upon entering the Salon, Frear observed Respondent removing curlers from the hair of a customer who was seated in one of the chairs. 1/ Frear asked Respondent to show him her license to practice cosmetology in the State of Florida. Respondent responded that she did not have such a license yet, but that she was scheduled to take the cosmetology licensure examination later that month. After learning from Respondent that she was the owner of the Salon, Frear asked to see the Salon's license. Respondent thereupon advised Frear that the Salon had not been licensed by the Department. Although she told Frear otherwise, Respondent was aware at the time that a Department-issued cosmetology salon license was required to operate the Salon. Frear gave Respondent an application form to fill out to obtain such a salon license. Respondent subsequently filled out the application form and submitted the completed form to the Department. Thereafter, she received License No. CE 0053509 from the Department to operate the Salon.
Recommendation Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is hereby recommended that the Board of Cosmetology enter a final order (1) finding that Respondent committed the violations of law alleged in the instant Administrative Complaint; and (2) imposing upon Respondent an administrative fine in the amount of $1,000 for having committed these violations. RECOMMENDED in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, this 24th day of April, 1991. STUART M.

Findings Of Fact At all times material to this proceeding, the Respondent was the owner of Palm Beauty Salon located at 5084 N.E. 2nd Avenue, Miami, Florida. At all times material to this proceeding, Respondent Fanfan was licensed to operate Palm Beauty Salon as a cosmetology salon, having been issued Florida Cosmetology salon license number CE 0038205. Respondent Fanfan was not licensed to practice cosmetology in the State of Florida at any time. On August 19, 1985, Sharon Banks Geter (Geter), inspector for the Petitioner, inspected the Palm Beauty Salon and was accompanied by another inspector, Anthony Destro (Destro). At the time of the inspection on August 19, 1985, Adelaide Baltazar (Baltazar) and Myrtha Janvier (Janvier) were found to be performing cosmetology services in the Palm Beauty Salon. However, the evidence was insufficient to prove that Baltazar and Janvier were employed by Respondent Fanfan. Neither the Respondent nor Marie Herard (Herard) the manager of Palm Beauty Salon, were present when Geter and Destro inspected the Palm Beauty Salon on August 19, 1985. At all times material to this proceeding, Baltazar and Janvier were not licensed to practice cosmetology in the State of Florida.

The Issue Whether Respondent should be fined for alleged violations of Chapter 477, Florida Statutes, occurring prior to her licensure.
Findings Of Fact Respondent, Catherine Shepherd, is the owner of a cosmetics studio named Merle Norman Cosmetics. The studio is located at 13275 South 14th Street, Leesburg, Florida 32748. Her primary business is the sale of cosmetics to the public. A very small portion of her business is nail sculpting. Except for the nail sculpting, Respondent is not otherwise subject to the strictures of Chapter 477, Florida Statutes. Respondent, dba Merle Norman, is a licensed cosmetology salon in the State of Florida having been issued license number CE 0048712. Respondent obtained her license January 24, 1989, after Petitioner's investigator informed her that the law required her to have a cosmetology salon license in order to do nails at her establishment. Prior to January 24, 1989, Respondent was not licensed as a cosmetology salon. When the cosmetology statutes were last adopted, Respondent was informed by the Board's investigator that she would have to employ a licensed cosmetologist in order to do nails at her studio. Respondent thence forward employed a licensed nail sculptor to perform this service. However, the Board's investigator did not inform Respondent that she was also required to have a cosmetology salon license to employ a licensed nail sculptor. She was, therefore, unaware that the law required such a license. Respondent operated as a cosmetology salon without a license for approximately two years.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Board of Cosmetology enter a Final Order fining the Respondent one hundred dollars ($100.00). DONE and ENTERED this 18th day of July, 1989, in Tallahassee, Florida.

Findings Of Fact The Respondent was licensed by the State of Florida to practice cosmetology, having been issued license number CL 0030044. On September 27, 1966, the Respondent was issued a cosmetology salon license numbered CE 0009517 authorizing the operation of a cosmetology salon called "Bonnie's Boutique," located at 426 South Pineapple Avenue, Sarasota, Florida, owned by the Respondent. The petitioner is an agency of the State of Florida charged with enforcing the provisions of Chapter 477, Florida Statutes, as that relates to licensing and regulation of the activities and practices of cosmetologists and cosmetology salons. After assuming ownership of, and obtaining licensure for the operation of a cosmetology salon, the Respondent began operating Bonnie's Boutique, She operated Bonnie's Boutique as a cosmetology salon until approximately June 30, 1980, when her cosmetology salon license became ripe for renewal. She was leasing the premises in which she operated her business, which lease continued through August of 1983. The Respondent failed to renew her cosmetology salon license number CE 0009517 after it expired on June 30, 1980. From that time until August, 1983, when the lease on the premises expired, the Respondent operated Bonnie's Boutique, albeit on a limited basis due to health problems, performing cosmetology services primarily for friends and relatives. Sometime in January, 1983, in the course of an investigation of the Respondent's activities with regard to the salon premises, it was discovered by petitioner's investigator that the Respondent was operating the cosmetology salon at the above address on at least an intermittent basis without a current cosmetology salon license. Due to health problems, the Respondent has never sought to operate a fully active cosmetology salon business since the expiration of her salon licensure on June 30, 1980. Aside from the subject action there has never been any other disciplinary proceeding instituted against the Respondent with regard to her licensure status.
Recommendation Having considered the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, and the evidence of record, it is, therefore RECOMMENDED: That a Final Order be entered imposing the penalty of a reprimand on the Respondent Bonnie J. Wagoner. DONE and ENTERED this 20th day of February, 1984, in Tallahassee, Florida. P.

Findings Of Fact Respondent F. W. Lorick, Jr. received notice of this hearing and filed his election of remedies stating no contest and that he did not plan to attend this hearing. Respondent does not personally work in the La Marick Beauty Salon, therefore employs a manager to manage the salon although it is licensed in the company's name. The company of which Respondent is president is one of a chain of beauty salons. Mrs. Madge Edwards, inspector for the State Board of Cosmetology, on or about February 24, 1976 entered Respondent Lorick's beauty salon and found a student working as a cosmetologist. The student was a non-licensed person who held no permit to work in a beauty salon. The inspector wrote a violation which is the subject of this hearing.
Recommendation Advise the Respondent F. W. Lorick, Jr. that he is guilty of violating Chapter 477, Florida Statutes, and rules and regulations promulgated thereto and that if other violations occur, his license may be revoked, annulled, withdrawn or suspended.
