disease;
(2) Fail to provide the head rest of each chair with a relaundered towel or a sheet of
clean paper for each patron;
(3) Fail to place around the patron's neck a strip of cotton, towel, or neck strip so that
the haircloth does not come in contact with the nude skin of the patron's body;
(4) Use on one (1) patron a towel that has been used upon another patron, unless the
towel has been relaundered; or
(5) Use on any patron any razor, scissors, tweezers, comb, sachet, rubber disc or part of
vibrator or other similar equipment or appliance that comes into contact with the
head, face, hands, or neck of a patron, until the equipment or appliance has been
immersed in boiling water for ten (10) minutes or in a sterilizing solution and

as are bacteriologically effective and approved by the Cabinet for Health and
Family Services shall be used.
