A student intern may work in a salon in which capacity?

• A. In a Managerial Role
• B. Only In An Assisting Capacity
• C. As A Licensed Esthetician
• D. In A Sales Position

Answer: (B)

Student esthetics interns operate under supervision and have a limited scope of practice. They are not licensed yet, so they’re not allowed to perform esthetic services or hold roles that require full licensure or independent authority. The only capacity that fits safely and legally is assisting tasks that support licensed professionals and do not involve delivering licensed treatments. This includes prep work, sanitizing equipment, setting up treatment rooms, and helping the licensed esthetician while observing. That’s why the best answer is the assisting capacity: it aligns with being in training under supervision and not yet performing licensed duties. The other options require licensure or responsibilities that interns aren’t authorized to assume, such as managing, practicing independently, or selling services as if they were the licensed practitioner.
