[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Daejeon City Civil Affairs Judicial Police announced on the 31st that they had cracked down on illegal beauty salons in the area for two months since May, uncovering 11 establishments.

The detected establishments included 10 operating without notification and one using medical devices for business operations.

According to the investigation, each establishment is suspected of operating without a license and without notification (5 places) or operating with a license but without notification (5 places).

They registered their business as a cosmetics retail business at the tax office, then equipped their business premises with beds, cosmetics, and other facilities, providing services such as nail care, eyelash extensions, skin care, and waxing to customers visiting the premises.

In addition to these establishments, one place is suspected of using a high-frequency stimulator on members receiving skin care, despite the fact that medical devices cannot be used for skin beauty purposes in general beauty salons.

The city has sent these establishments to the prosecution with a recommendation for indictment. Each establishment faces imprisonment of up to one year or a fine of up to 10 million won under the Public Health Control Act.

Lee Junho, head of the Civil Affairs Judicial Police of the city, said, “When receiving beauty-related procedures from non-professionals, innocent victims are likely to occur,” and added, “The city will continue to conduct ongoing crackdowns in civil sectors closely related to citizens’ lives to prevent illegal activities and protect citizens’ safety.”
