Democratic New York Senator Jamaal Bailey understands firsthand how challenging it is to find a hair stylist trained in his hair texture.

Democratic New York Senator Jamaal Bailey understands firsthand how challenging it is to find a hair stylist trained in his hair texture.

He told Allure magazine he often runs into scenarios where he’s not in his neighborhood but in need of a quick tape-up or shape-up — and left debating who around him might be qualified.

“The struggle is real,” he said.

This is partly why, in April, he introduced Bill S6528A, a new law in New York state that will require all hair stylists to be trained in all textures.

This takes the decision out of the hands of the stylist.

Totalitarianism.

Gosh dogget, apologies for the title screw up. The title is:

A new bill in New York requires hairstylists to be trained in all hair textures

[Chode]

wut, the boy afraid to goto Harlem???

plenty of people up there capable of tending to his texture of nappyness...

We’ve got too many politicians with nothing to do. Hair is the #1 political issue for some azhos but not many.

The practical effect will not be that all existing hairstylists will be trained in all "hair textures". The practical effect will be that smaller businesses and hairstylists who can't afford the training or aren't interested in taking the training will leave the profession, and there will be fewer hairstylists working as a result.

Leftists are such complete and utter fools. No understanding of how markets and economies work at all.

Screw em.

When haircuts (a buzz cut) hit $20 here (forecast to go much higher due to more licensing BS), I dusted off the trimmer and haven’t looked back.

Ironically, it happened just before the virus, and I refused to wear a mask for a haircut.

Gotten pretty good at cutting my own hair after 3 years, I must say.

But the irony is that all the regulations will do is dramatically expand the black market (under which my cousin commands good money for premium styling in your own home).

Isn’t this the idiot who pulled the fire alarm??

[Chode]

naaa, the mutt is a state RAT...

What this means is barbers who cut White hair will have to cut hair like the kind seen in this photo.

This is going to result in anger, lawsuits, and claims of racism.

[Jonty30]

Trouble is what this is. I would not want to work on black hair, because they get angry if things dont go perfect. I expect some white hairstylist to get a beating if they anger somebody.

[Nifster]

Sorry. Stupidity confuses me sometimes

Scroll down for the text.

It’s also a handy way to increase the cost of getting a cosmetology degree (snort) and keep more people from become hairdressers.

So, bLACK hair stylists will have to learn how to give a "Karen haircut"?

wholly understandable... 8^)
