Quick answer
What security do spas and wellness facilities need?
Spas and wellness businesses need to protect staff who work one-on-one with clients, deter after-hours burglary of retail inventory and cash, and maintain a reputation for safety. California requires massage and bodywork businesses, and salons regulated under the Barbering and Cosmetology Act, to post the state’s human trafficking notice near the entrance (Civil Code §52.6). Most employers also need SB 553 workplace violence plans.

California requirements
California rules for spas and salons
Civil Code §52.6 requires massage and bodywork businesses (with limited exceptions) and salons regulated under the Barbering and Cosmetology Act to post the state’s human trafficking notice near the entrance in English, Spanish and other required languages; penalties are $1,000 for a first violation and $2,000 after. Most employers also maintain workplace violence plans under SB 553 (Labor Code 6401.9).
Every officer must hold a BSIS Guard Card and work for a licensed private patrol operator — 8 hours of Power to Arrest and Appropriate Use of Force training before registration, 32 more hours within six months, and 8 hours of continuing training every year. Verify any company or officer on the state’s DCA License Search.
