Can minors receive esthetics services in Oregon, and under what conditions?

• A. Never
• B. Only with parental consent and compliance with board rules
• C. Only with court order
• D. Without consent

Answer: (B)

Minors can receive esthetics services in Oregon, but only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian and in compliance with Oregon Board of Cosmetology rules. This means the provider must obtain a valid parental consent (often in writing), ensure the parent or guardian is involved as required by the board, and follow any age-specific limitations or supervision requirements the board imposes. The aim is to protect the minor’s safety and privacy while ensuring the service is appropriate and properly documented.

The other options don’t fit because services aren’t categorically prohibited for minors, nor are court orders typically required for standard esthetics services, and services can’t be performed without parental consent.
