Thats a problem for braiders like Fatou Diouf, a small braiding business owner who is suffering because of a stifling $16,000 in fines shes 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 familys 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 states requirement that Jestina Clayton get a cosmetology license to braid hair was unconstitutional and invalid because regulations are irrelevant to Claytons profession.

That too
But that maybe the lefts plan
Libertarian politics can coexist with a privately Christian society. It’s not whether it’s a good thing to help those willing to use it as a hand-up. It’s not needed to make the government do it.
I’ll get my pampering from Mr. b, thanks very much. I don’t want it from strangers, ick.
Chillax a bit
I did not advocate for licensure. I made a comment about two specific professions
You jump to waaay too many conclusions
This is where you as consumer need to be aware. Because if you won’t, you will be among myriads begging for super nannies.
Until a doctor mucks up a surgery or they are made bald forever by someone doing their hair.....etc
YOU dont have to tell me anything. Thanks
Observe context when commenting, because that’s how you will reasonably be taken.
That’s the exact mindset that will pull down nannies. If you won’t listen to a word to the wise (e.g. gym rules), the consequences fall.
Now just boss around all the other women.
That would be nice. But the schools train in all of those areas, so they can all operate under one roof and multi-task.
I never wanted to teach cosmetology, because I don’t believe in make-up exams.
The government requiring licenses for braiding is absurd.
What state do you reside in?
You are right. Is the state any different from Vito Corleone providing protection for money? They are just dreaming up ways to revenue.
Not a big believer in freedom, are ya?
It is the same incumbency kind of system the ancient guilds became. The original stated purpose is to provide a standard of qualified education or training (apprenticeship) in a trade, bug nearly as fast as the requirements of the guilds become the law, it becomes the incumbency protection racket that makes it all “by law” allows it to be. Were it just a standard someone can agree to in their practice, but not a legal requirement, customers could judge for themselves if they are getting better service, or not, by those claiming to meet that standard. Over time, the standard would achieve a majority of customers, if it was worthy of it.
Like it or not, styling and cosmetology are a licensed industry requiring 1600-2000 hours of instruction and a state test to be certified.
One of the things they teach in the course is sanitation and infection/infestation control, since hair and scalp is a great place for disease and critters to proliferate. Stylists find all kinds of things that would make you jump back on peoples heads. Our daughter is a licensed cosmetologist, so we get an inside account.
Plus, it is not okay for a stylist who spends thousands on training and certification (styling schools can cost up to $25,000) to be in competition with an unlicensed person who didnt take the hard road to get there.
It is in the interest of the public for the state to require training and salon standards.
I think some are questioning the need for the standards being as strict as they are, not the concept of having standards and licensing in the first place.
That’s my take on it anyway.
It really doesn’t pay to have any kind of an opinion in here. {rolling eyes}

This god, this one word: I.
