Cosmetic procedures are divided into two types: one type aims solely at seeking beauty and enhancement, and this type is impermissible. The second type aims at removing harm, pain, disfigurement, or blemish, and this type is permissible. Accordingly, working in a beauty center that performs the first type of procedures is impermissible due to the violations involved. However, if it is possible to work only in the permissible section and promote it exclusively, then that is permissible, and in this case, the mixing of unlawful and lawful money does not cause harm.
