Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies
(a) Supplies and instruments. The employer shall furnish employees cosmetics and supplies including, but not limited to, emery boards, orange wood sticks, combs, hairbrushes, nets, permanent wave rods and protectors, and curlers and linens. The employee shall furnish the implements including nippers, scissors, files, buffers, tweezers and marcel irons, except such as are part of the shop equipment.
(b) Uniforms. Charges for uniforms and their maintenance may equal, but not exceed, the actual cost charge to employers for uniforms or for laundry. In no case may the charge to employees for uniforms, for uniform maintenance or for sharpening of instruments bring the wage paid below the minimum. When charges are made in the form of deductions from the wage, the wage paid, minus the charge, shall be equal to or in excess of the appropriate minimum wage.
(c) Beauty service. No charge shall be made to any employee for beauty service rendered in the place of employment or for material used therefor.
