What animals are allowed in a cosmetology establishment?

• A. No animals allowed
• B. Service animals and fish in covered aquariums
• C. All pets
• D. Service animals only

Answer: (B)

Public spaces like cosmetology establishments must balance accessibility with hygiene. Service animals must be allowed because they help customers with disabilities, and businesses can accommodate them without requiring special documentation. Fish kept in covered aquariums are also allowed because they are contained and pose minimal sanitation risk, provided the tanks are properly maintained and kept out of client areas. Other pets raise sanitation, allergy, and safety concerns and are generally not permitted. A rule that allows only service animals would unnecessarily exclude the permissible aquarium fish, making the combination of service animals and covered aquarium fish the correct approach.
