Occupational licensure is so damaging to the upward mobility of poor people and does so little to protect the public that even the Obama administration, with its reflexive pro-government inclinations, has criticized it. (See my February 2015 Forbes piece on that.)
Unnecessary and anti-competitive licensing rules have been repeatedly challenged in court, and often struck down as a violation of either state law or the U.S. Constitution. The Institute for Justice has been particularly effective in protecting the liberty of people who just want a chance to succeed on their own, by persuading courts to invalidate ridiculous licensing regulations.
A new case in Tennessee raises these issues. In Pritchard v. Board of Cosmetology, the plaintiff is Tammy Pritchard, a woman who would like to earn some additional money working in a hair salon owned by a friend. The salon specializes in African hair braiding and what she wants to do is shampoo customers hair.
But after doing that for a few months, Tammy heard from officials at the state Cosmetology Board, informing her that she could not continue washing hair because she lacks a governmental license to do so. Under Board of Cosmetology regulations, an individual must complete not less than 300 hours of instruction on the theory and practice of shampooing at an approved school. That instruction includes how to answer the phone, order products, information about the composition of shampoos, and on the Occupational Safety and Health Administrations rules governing hair salons.
So there are one or more theories about shampooing? Good grief.

Yes, it's a real good idea. Consider problems people might have with disease and infestations or with fragile skin and hair that has to be delicately tended to. What about proper water temperature, chemicals and other additives for different scalp and hair conditions, maintaining a sanitary environment so as not to spread disease? What about hygienic procedures to protect the hair washer from catching diseases? What about some training in relating to custormers in a pleasant and professional way?
No, I'm not kidding.
That’s the kind of thing I was referring to in my previous post on this thread. Over two years ago, I got a pedicure and foot wash. The person who gave it to me has skin that is much thicker than mine. She actually took a few layers of skin off! It took over a year for the bottoms of my feet to lose the tingling from that loss of skin.
LOL! The ONLY reason you want her naked is because the stain is so much easier to wash off skin than clothes if you drip some of the solution, right? Totally logical reason.
next you’ll need a license to clip your own toenails.
It can not just reduce inconveniences like green hair after a perm, but rashes, etc. And prevent lawsuits against the business because you dyed my hair and it turned green. ( A girl in my elementary class did that and lived with the green hair outcome for almost the entire school year. Wonder if she still has issues going out in public all these years later.)
In Orange County, occupied California, we have a lot of businesses set up in garages in the barrios. (’We don’t need no stinkin’ licenses!’)
My favorite that I know of is a dude that is set up as the neighborhood dentist. Get your cavities filled or your oil changed, or both.
And yet any incompetent can run for office.
How long did it take each of us to learn, as children, how to wash our hair????”
Only a couple of minutes once we figured out that soap in the eyes burns. My grandkids started washing their own hair about age three because “I wasn’t doing it right”, even though I had washed my own for at least 45 years by that time.
Now THERE’S a comparison to think about...
Half that is you only want to take off.
OMG! I was just talking to a guy here in Jersey who has a dentist friend who also worked on his car — brakes, etc.
I thought he was full of it.
Went to cosmetology school, every week there was a make-up exam.
I would offer than anyone over the age of 21 has acquired 300 hours of shampooing experience. If they have a dog or livestock, cut that to age 15.
“But honey, it’s the only way to make sure the collars and cuffs match.”

Believe it or not but clipping ones one nails is okay but for a nurse or anyone in the medical field you need a license, treatment plan and yes a license and a doctors order to trim toenails and fingernails...I believe that licensing goes the same for all the nail salons out there so that's a "YUGE" big license!!
You think the hours are bad you should see how much the schools charge. It’s insanity.
or, how to destroy a republic 101
oh Blue, that is a good one.
