Cyprus Aesthetics Association warns public over unlicensed beauty salons

The Cyprus Aesthetics Association has issued an urgent appeal to the public, urging consumers to verify that beauty salons possess valid operating licenses before receiving any services. The organization emphasizes the necessity of ensuring that all aesthetic procedures are performed exclusively by licensed professionals to maintain public health and safety standards.

According to the Association, the registration of professionals and the issuance of salon operating licenses are strictly regulated by the Council for the Registration of Aestheticians under the Law 40(I)/1999. The legislation mandates that only licensed practitioners can manage beauty clinics and that all provided services must strictly adhere to the professional scope defined by law. The Association explicitly warned against beauty salons performing procedures that fall outside their legally permitted professional boundaries, noting that such actions may encroach upon the domains of other regulated medical or professional fields.

This initiative serves as a reminder of the existing legal framework designed to protect the public from substandard or unauthorized beauty treatments. The Association remains committed to enforcing compliance with established statutes, urging citizens to demand proof of certification to avoid potential risks associated with unlicensed operations.
