The Beauty and Barber Industry:
To be recognized as a licensed hairstylist, cosmetologist, or barber, individuals must complete between 1500 and 1800 hours of training and various examinations. Many businesses choose to get accredited by the BBB, the Ohio State Cosmetology and Barber Board, the Professional Beauty Association, American Barber Association, or Professional Black Barbers Association. Be sure to check if your hairstylist or barber is involved with any of these organizations to ensure the greatest quality of treatment.
Covid-19 Safety in Salons and Barber Shops:
According to the CDC, within salons, you should limit the time you are close to others to the extent possible (e.g., shorten appointment times, limit gatherings inside the salon, and discourage bringing additional people to appointments). Vaccinated people can return to activities as usual.
