Which code does this activity belong in?
Establishments classified in code 812199 provide personal care services that do not fall within specialized beauty treatments such as hair, nails, or facials, nor do they offer non-medical weight management programs. The boundary with diet and weight reducing centers, classified in code 812191, lies in the medical nature and primary purpose of the service: weight reduction centers focus specifically on counseling and monitoring for weight management, while code 812199 covers broader personal care services like massage, electrolysis, tanning, and piercing that serve other wellness or grooming objectives.
