				partitions or by walls extending from floor to ceiling, from any room used for
				human habitation, any food establishment or room where food is prepared, any
				hair salon, any retail sales, or any other such activity that may cause
				potential contamination of work surfaces, exposed equipment, or client
				procedure sites.

				insects, vermin, and rodents. Insects, vermin, and rodents shall not be present
				in any part of the establishment, its appurtenances, or appertaining premises.
4. There shall be adequate floor
				space for the operator in each procedure room. Each establishment shall have
				procedure rooms that may be closed or screened, or both, from public view for
				clients requesting privacy.
5. The
				establishment shall be well-ventilated and provided with an artificial light
				source equivalent to at least twenty foot candles measured three feet off the
				floor, except that at least one hundred foot candles shall be provided at the

				animals of any kind shall be allowed in a body art establishment except service
				animals used by persons with disabilities (e.g., seeing eye dogs). Fish
				aquariums shall be allowed in waiting rooms and nonprocedural areas.
