In a statement Thursday, Kamloops Mounties said they arrested the woman after a series of complaints and searched a private residence in the North Shore neighborhood where she allegedly performed the treatments. “Police were made aware of the allegations earlier this month and since then, investigators have spoken with multiple people who reported receiving incorrect procedures,” said Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn. RCMP said they released the woman on condition of anonymity pending an investigation and possible charges.
A “real wild west” situation in the BC beauty industry
The BC government does not currently require providers of beauty services — such as hairdressing, esthetics or nail art — to pass an exam to prove they have had a minimum level of training after the industry was deregulated and the Cosmetology Act was repealed in 2003. This has led to a “real wild west” situation where anyone can do beauty services, says Greg Robins, executive director of the Beauty Council of Western Canada, an organization that seeks to improve the quality of the BC beauty industry by offering exams and certifications in matters of safety, hygiene and competence. “Unfortunately, there are no firm rules to ensure that people who are not properly trained and educated can provide these services or even go as far as obtaining a business license,” Robins said. She says consumers don’t need to worry too much as the beauty industry is generally very safe, but recommends they do their homework by checking their Google reviews and educational credentials. “It is wise to take a second look [and] make sure you know what you’re getting into,” he said. “If the procedure is at all invasive, go to a reputable shop you know and can trust.” RCMP are asking anyone with information related to their investigation to come forward and contact them at 250-828-3000.
