That’s a problem for braiders like Fatou Diouf, a small braiding business owner who is suffering because of a stifling $16,000 in fines she’s been ordered to pay.One of her braiders reportedly did not have a government license to braid hair in her shop and that runs afoul of the Tennessee Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners policy. As a result, Diouf the fine was levied against her as a disciplinary action..... In 2012, a Utah woman who braids hair to supplement her family’s income won a federal lawsuit against the state over its licensing process for her craft, arguing state regulations violated her right to earn a living.
A federal judge ruled that the state’s requirement that Jestina Clayton get a cosmetology license to braid hair was “unconstitutional and invalid” because regulations are irrelevant to Clayton’s profession.

Never understood the need to have your nails done professionally. Geez, a nail file and polish isn’t rocket science.
What is the federal judge name Buckwheat?.
While I think a license to fiddle around with hair is stupid the article makes it sound like they are only going after black women.
I sincerely doubt that is the case.
If it’s about health, the government could also pass out information sheets to the public to watch for, i.e. does your cosmetologist do thus and such, and why she should. Nobody wants to pass around disease carelessly, but somehow we can’t all be bubble boys either. Sane vigilance should be the rule, and matters of artistry not under government purview.
Moo just slapped on a white chick wig.
An unqualified personal trainer can cripple you for the rest of your life. Good luck collecting from that uninsured genius
Uneducated nutritionist can foul you up in really bad ways. IE the current “celiac” diet fad.....
I think for some things it works better when the beautician does it with both hands. Plus the ladies love the pampering.
Gyms have their own safety regulations and it would be difficult to injure someone in otherwise acceptable while following them. There are more than one set of eyes here.
Guess what! If you go to a restaurant outside of a big city that has a health inspection office, chances are the health inspector has never been there. Restaurant inspectors don’t set one foot outside of Austin, TX. Even if they get a complaint, they’re not leaving the city limits. Supposedly, there aren’t enough inspectors. Bet there’s even less chance of one inspecting a salon.
Decades ago, a local boy grew up to become a meat inspector so we had him inspecting area slaughter houses but once he retired, that was the end of that.
Maybe black women more commonly want to do it because African women’s hairstyles are more complex.
Excellent analysis. I wonder if it started as self-regulation - and, did the courts step in first or did big government regulators butt in first.
same old questions 450 dollars in california
We had licensed plumbers out to get the drain working on the master tub. All they did was stand around scratching their heads and charging a big bill. A decade laster, still can’t use the master bath.
Didn’t say it was
The context makes it clear that it is.
Sane distinctions must be made.
Sounds like a lousy installation. A great plumber would suggest how to correct it without going overboard.
I always think of libertarians as people who have, till now, not been sick and helpless . . . and very grateful for someones kindness.
I’ve been in those gyms. Have never seen any employee stop any one from doing anything. I have witnessed injuries...oh well
