Indoor suntan provided by use of ultraviolet lamps or other means is also assigned to this classification when performed by beauty parlors or barbershops. Some shops will provide services at customers’ homes or at hospitals. Code 9586 also includes barber or beauty parlor schools and tanning parlors that operate as separate businesses.

Code 9586 contemplates “make-over salons,” where individuals may receive all or some of the above services and also may receive massages and/or partake of steam bath facilities. Insureds engaged in the business of tattooing or body piercing are additionally contemplated by Code 9586. These operations are analogous to beauty salon work involving dyes and needles to affix permanent eyebrows and eyeliners to a customer’s face.

Body piercing in this context refers to puncturing a body part such as an earlobe, to enable the customer to wear earrings or other ornamental decorations that are intended to be worn on a punctured body part. Body piercing operations that take place at a jewelry store whose principal business is the sale of jewelry are assigned to the appropriate store code.
