You will likely need to provide the name and address of the salon, as well as the name of the technician. In some cases, you may be asked to provide additional information, such as the dates of your visits or copies of receipts.
Filing a complaint is important in protecting yourself and others from unlicensed practitioners. Unlicensed technicians may not follow proper sterilization procedures, which could lead to the spread of disease. In addition, they may not have adequate insurance coverage, which could leave you financially responsible if you are injured during a service.
