Important Notice Regarding Upcoming Oklahoma Cosmetology Rule Changes
At Penny Miller Cosmetology Academy (PMCA), we are committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and professional environment for our students, staff, clients, and community partners.
The Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology is currently implementing changes to certain rules and regulations that may affect cosmetology schools, salons, licensed professionals, students, and salon patrons throughout Oklahoma. As these updates continue to develop, some procedures, educational requirements, business practices, and licensing-related processes may be adjusted to reflect the new regulations.
Please be assured that PMCA will continue to place the safety, education, and well-being of our clients, students, and staff above all else. We are carefully monitoring all official information and guidance as it becomes available and will make every effort to keep our school community informed of any changes that may affect them.
Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition while maintaining the high standards of education, sanitation, professionalism, and client care that our students and patrons have come to expect.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period of regulatory transition. As we receive additional information and clarification regarding these changes, we will provide updates and guidance to help everyone navigate the new requirements with confidence.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Consumer Beware: Your Safety Matters
When visiting a salon, spa, barber shop, or beauty establishment, your health and safety should always be a top priority. Before receiving services, take a moment to observe your surroundings and ask a few important questions:
✓ Is the facility clean and well maintained?
✓ Are tools, implements, linens, and capes properly cleaned, disinfected, and stored?
✓ Are all practitioners properly licensed according to Oklahoma law?
✓ Does the staff participate in continuing education and stay current on new products, equipment, safety procedures, and sanitation standards?
Many potential hazards are invisible to the naked eye. Bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, and other microorganisms can exist in any environment where proper sanitation procedures are not consistently followed.
While salons and spas are wonderful places for relaxation, self-care, and personal services, they also contain professional-grade chemicals, extremely sharp instruments, electrical devices, and heated styling tools that may exceed 450°F. These products and tools require proper training, knowledge, and safety procedures to be used correctly.
Professional beauty practitioners must be educated not only in their technical skills, but also in infection control, chemical safety, sanitation, disinfection, client protection, and workplace safety. These practices help protect clients, co-workers, and the professionals performing the services.
Choosing a licensed, reputable establishment is about much more than achieving beautiful results—it’s about protecting your health and well-being.
As consumers, we encourage you to be informed, ask questions, and observe safety practices. A quality salon or school will be proud to explain its sanitation procedures and commitment to professional standards.
At Penny Miller Cosmetology Academy, we believe safety, sanitation, education, and professionalism are the foundation of every successful beauty service. Our commitment is to provide a clean, safe learning environment while preparing future beauty professionals to uphold the highest standards of client care and public protection.
