Under what circumstances can a licensed barber perform services outside of a registered barbershop?

A licensed barber can perform services outside of a registered barbershop in specific circumstances that often include certain environments where mobile or in-home services are needed. The approved scenario where licensed barbers are permitted to work outside of a barbershop is in nursing homes or hospitals. This is a practical accommodation aimed at meeting the grooming needs of clients who may have mobility issues or specific health care requirements that prevent them from visiting a traditional barbershop.

Providing services in nursing homes or hospitals allows barbers to offer necessary grooming and hygiene services in a setting where clients may not have access to standard barbershop services due to their health or living situations. This approach fosters a sense of dignity and well-being among clients who might otherwise not receive such services.

While barbers may also work at fairs and festivals, or potentially in residential areas, these circumstances can involve more regulatory complexities and often require special permissions or licenses that are not as clearly defined as the situation involving nursing homes or hospitals. Therefore, the specific mention of services for clients in nursing homes or hospitals highlights an established and accepted practice within the industry.
