Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

As a Franchise Attorney I can say this. Normally painting nails in a nail salon falls under applicable licensing requirements. So you have to be a licensed manicurist to do this. A family business is no defense to violations of licensing laws. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.

Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.
