Findings Of Fact At all times material to this case, the Respondent, Arled Corp., d/b/a Cadris Hair Design, has been licensed to operate a cosmetology salon in the State of Florida, having previously been issued license number CE 0046212. At all times material to this case, the Respondent corporation has been the owner and operator of a cosmetology salon known as Cadris Hair Design, which is located at 13635 Southwest 26th Street, Miami, Florida 33175-6377. On December 26, 1991, during the course of a routine inspection, an inspector employed by the Department of Professional Regulation discovered that Liliam de la Portilla was practicing a cosmetology specialty on the licensed premises without having a valid license to practice a cosmetology specialty. Further investigation revealed that Liliam de la Portilla had been practicing a cosmetology specialty on a regular basis on the licensed premises since approximately the middle of September of 1991. Liliam de la Portilla has previously been licensed to practice a cosmetology specialty, but her last license expired on June 30, 1990. During the period from the middle of September of 1991 through December 26, 1991, Liliam de la Portilla did not have a valid license to practice a cosmetology specialty in the State of Florida. Ms. Gladys Scheer is, and was at all material times, the president of and owner of Arled Corporation. Ms. Scheer granted permission for Liliam de la Portilla to practice a cosmetology specialty on the premises of Cadris Hair Design. Liliam de la Portilla was not an employee of Cadris Hair Design, but merely paid rent for the right to practice a cosmetology specialty on the premises of Cadris Hair Design. Ms. Gladys Scheer has known Liliam de la Portilla for approximately ten years. Ms. Scheer knew that Liliam de la Portilla had previously been licensed to practice a cosmetology specialty and assumed, but did not verify, that Liliam de la Portilla was still licensed. In September of 1991 when Ms. Scheer first allowed Liliam de la Portilla to practice a cosmetology specialty on the premises of Cadris Hair Design, she was not aware that Liliam de la Portilla's license had expired. Following the inspection on December 26, 1991, Ms. Gladys Scheer told Liliam de la Portilla that the latter could no longer practice a cosmetology specialty on the premises of Cadris Hair Design until such time as she was properly licensed.

The Issue Whether disciplinary action should be taken against Respondents for alleged violations of Sections 455.277 and 477.028, Florida Statutes (1979).
Findings Of Fact Respondent Luella and Porter's School of Beauty currently holds License No. CT 0000056 and is located at 316 NE First Street, Pompano Beach, Florida. Respondent Luella A. Bailey is an owner of the Respondent beauty school and currently holds License No. IC 0031324 as a cosmetology instructor. In March of 1980 Respondent Bailey discussed a two week course of study in Esthetology given by the Respondent beauty school with Bonnie Cohen and her mother, Sharon Cohen. Bonnie Cohen and her mother were led to believe that the course, which involved the study of the face, the use of massage and water vapor and the use of various creams and oils would enable Bonnie Cohen to obtain a paid position in cosmetology salons performing facials. Respondent Bailey suggested at least two places where Bonnie Cohen might obtain employment as a person trained to perform facials: Christine Valmy Salon and Palm Aire Spa Salon. Respondent Bailey knew or should have known that in order to perform facials in a cosmetology salon an employee must be certified as a cosmetologist. Respondent Luella and Porter's School of Beauty has been in business for a long period of time and is recognized as a reputable school. Bonnie Cohen paid a fee of $500.00 and took the two week course given at Respondent school which began on March 18, 1980 and ended on March 28, 1980. She learned to massage areas of the face and neck, apply creams and chemicals used to clean and soften the skin, and learned how to apply treatments for various minor skin problems. Miss Cohen was awarded a certificate worded: "Esthetics - Scientific Facial Treatments and Skin Care Seminar. This certifies that Bonnie Cohen has parti- cipated in the Christine Valmy Seminar for Esthetics - Scientific Facial Treat- ments and Skin Care. Date, March, 1980." The certificate was signed "Christine Valmy by Luella Bailey." In October of 1980, Bonnie Cohen sought employment at two cosmetology salons, Christine Valmy Salon and Palm Aire Spa Salon, both of which were recommended to her by Respondent Luella Bailey. The owner of the Palm Aire Spa Salon discussed employment with Bonnie Cohen and would have employed her, but when Miss Cohen produced the herein described certificate instead of a cosmetology license the owner of the salon would not employ her to perform facials. A cosmetology license is required for employment.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law the Hearing Officer recommends that a final order be entered censuring Respondent Luella Bailey and imposing on her as a licensee an administrative fine not to exceed $1,000.00 In addition the Hearing Officer recommends that the license of Respondent Luella and Porter's School of Beauty be suspended for a period of six (6) months.

The Issue The issue presented for decision herein is whether or not Respondent practice cosmetology without being licensed and, if so, what penalty is appropriate.
Findings Of Fact Based upon my observation of the witnesses and their demeanor while testifying, documentary evidence received and the entire record compiled herein, I make the following relevant factual findings: The Petitioner, Department of Professional Regulation, Board of Cosmetology, is the state agency charged with regulating the practice of cosmetology in Florida. On December 8, 1987, Leonard Baldwin, inspector for Petitioner, inspected a cosmetology salon known as "The Hairstylist" which is located at 8672 Griffin Road, Cooper City, Florida. During inspector Baldwin's routine inspection at that time, Respondent was working at the Hairstylist as a cosmetologist. Respondent had been so employed for approximately two weeks. Respondent was not licensed as a cosmetologist at the time of inspector Baldwin's inspection on December 8, 1987, nor was she licensed at the time of Petitioner's official records search on March 18, 1988. Respondent did not appear at the hearing to contest or otherwise refute the charges that she had engaged in the practice of cosmetology without a license.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that: Petitioner enter a Final Order imposing an administrative fine against Respondent in the amount of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) payable to Petitioner within 30 days of issuance of its Final Order. Respondent be issued a letter of reprimand by Petitioner with guidance instructions. RECOMMENDED this 29th day of September, 1988, in Tallahassee, Florida. JAMES E. BRADWELL Hearing Officer Division of Administrative Hearings The Oakland Building 2009 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32301 (904) 488-9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 29th day of September, 1988.
The Issue Whether the license of Respondent should be revoked, annulled, withdrawn or suspended for operating a cosmetology salon without a certificate of registration.
Findings Of Fact An Administrative Complaint was filed against licensee, Virginia Jarnecke, who holds License No. Salon 24158, on the 31st of May, 1977, alleging that she did operate a cosmetology salon without a valid certificate of registration after having been warned and supplied with the proper form in July of 1976 at the La Petite Coiffures in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Respondent filed an Answer on the 24th day of June, 1977, entering a plea of not guilty to the Administrative Complaint. The inspector for the board inspected the Respondent shop in July of 1976 and found that there had been a change in ownership of the salon. She informed the Respondent new owner that the salon registration was nontransferable and that a new registration would have to be applied for and obtained. At that time she left a form designated BC-7 for use of the Respondent. On September 24, 1976 no license had been obtained and a violation of notice was written by the inspector. A license was obtained thereafter in November of 1976. The owner of the shop, Respondent Virginia Jarnecke, had waited to send in her application for registration of said shop until one of the employees obtained a license as master cosmetologist. She did not obtain a registration for the salon until November of 1976 although an application form had been' left by the Petitioner, State Board of Cosmetology, to change the registration from the former owner in July of 1976.
Recommendation Write a letter of reprimand to Respondent for the reason that there was unnecessary delay between the time the Respondent bought subject beauty salon and the time in which application for registration of the salon.
