Minimum age to work in a Salon in Iowa

[TooSunzTanning]

I am wondering if it is legal for a 15 year old to help work in a salon in the state of Iowa? I have heard its ok only if they are family?? Any help is appreciated

If you are not familiar with your state regulations you need to obtain a copy of them. Try searching on the internet for a website or a number. I"m not sure if you are a regulated state or not, I know in Indiana you must be 16 to clean beds and 18 to run the counter. imo a 15 year old is on the young side to work at a salon.

I found them online, but no age limit is mentioned, I know its a little young, but we are a small town business about 1200 people, and she offered to work the slow days for free tanning. She did study and tok the test, missed only 3 questions and then corrected them after re-reading the book. It would be a 3 hour shift and probably 5-10 tanners

I'm not sure why it wouldn't say in your regs, here in IN we have a big section on it. Maybe if it doesn't say, its ok. Its just my honest opinion that shes a little young to work in a salon. Thats great she passed the test and all, but shes still immature. She might do great, but again its just my opinion. You also have to check out your child labor laws as far as how many hours she can work and what times.

if she can get a work permit, she's old enough to work.
