Some states require up to 1500 hours of training to cut hair.

A lot of this training is supposedly for, get this...SAFETY AND HYGIENE REASONS.

And yet they aren't supposed to be trusted with their "training?"

These licenses are nothing more than a money grab, pure and simple.

Cloudy, windy and 58 degrees here

“There was a state legislator in Texas (I want to say it was Eddie Bernice Johnson) who claimed cosmetology licenses are necessary because they can detect venereal diseases in your scalp...”

Someone must have told him you could get VD from a head job.

A barber shop that has been in biz for over 90 years in my town died this week. Killed by COVID regs.

“Two consenting adults can’t agree for one to cut a single hair of the other??”

Would saying, “My body. My choice.” pull any weight? Or is that just valid for killing children?

“... y wife’s GI cut ...”

Mrs. VanShuyten is quite good at buzz cuts. Of course, she doesn’t have to cut very many hairs any more except the few left on the sides and back.

My wife said over dinner tonight that the girls were back to work. I told her, when it grows out a little more, I’ll go see them. In the meantime quit hollering Tenhut!! R Lee Ermey you ain’t. :)

Private house calls...

they already do. My neighbor has his barber come over and cut his and his 3 son’s hair, their friend’s hair. I watch him drive off with his pockets full of money.

>Eddie Bernice Johnson

Chairwoman of the House Science committee. Oddly the comment is theoretically correct. Syphilis, which all would usually is a venereal disease, can present with scalp hair loss. It might be diagnosed just from its appearance then. And it would be contagious. That said I've never seen it, but perhaps its much more common in her district than here in Iowa. Much more likely a hair dresser would see ringworm infections or head lice. More importantly they might spot a skin cancer, even a melanoma, which might not be seen there by others. People have come to me saying their barber recommended they get checked and sometimes it has been productive. I'm not saying they need 1500 hours, but they should get some training in hygiene and in recognizing as oddities things that deserve to be checked by someone more medical. Some people become a allergic to hair dyes or to perm chemicals. They need to be aware of that too and I can think of a few more medical things of which I'd like them to be aware beyond the mechanics of their job and ideally enough business training so they can succeed in it.

Apparently it is!

Stay out of the bedroom! It’s between me and my doctor!

Oh, you want somebody to cut one of your hairs for free? That’s illegal.

Clown world.

This is prohibition that is worse than The Prohibition.

Even during the earlier Prohibition you could brew your own beer or wine at home. Not a lot, but you could do it.

While modern barbers don’t do surgery, present day “cosmetologists” do work with blades and chemicals.

So do the guys who stock shelves in the big box stores.

They do it all without a license.
