Is there a fee associated with having your salon inspected?

In Vermont, salon inspections are conducted as a part of the regulatory oversight of the cosmetology industry to ensure compliance with health and safety standards. There is no fee associated with these inspections, as they are considered a necessary service provided by the state to maintain public health and safety standards. The expectation is that all salons comply without incurring a financial burden for the routine checks that help ensure they meet state regulations. Thus, the correct answer indicates that inspections are free, supporting a system aimed at fostering compliance without additional financial implications for salon owners.
