other things to be considered at the hearing
 

The changes that you are making may be necessary. How ever, They will not impact the industry in the way that will make the industry safer or healthier economically. when new salons of any type open they submit a floor plan indicating how many work stations are at the site. And the biggest health issue affecting the industry is unlicensed people working in licensed shops for booth rent. And DPOR in ability to monitor and or render these locations unsafe. In fact the way in which you investigate complaints is unsafe. Put a tax on every chair submitted for all salons,shops nails whatever it is. So salons wont have empty chairs. It lowers the owners investment. and increases DPOR revenue per 25$ each chair when invesgators enter a location chairs mean someone with a license is working using the original blue print to determine penalties. It is Dpor responsibility to regulate the industry so that we with license profit in return unlicensed people who lower our standards and force us to have lower prices which make a increas in the fees to much to pay. You should also penalize the beauty supply stores for selling commercial grade products to the public. A definite health problem. Make it standard requirement that in order to sale our product you have to have a license in one of the industry areas. And for god sakes police the industry if you are raising prices. Stop taking money and not doing the job. I dont mind paying whatever the fees are but you guys really need to do a much better job. Because none of us is making enough money because you not closing people down who desreve to be closed and you penalizing only the ones with liscenses. thats not fair to anyone. So get it right this time. thank you Seanpaul barber braids and beauty academies.
