$$$ Who Paid for these license
 

Additional Reminder: 

Our Taxes fund the High School Cosmetology program.

Federal Pell Grants will help obtain funding for Private Vocational Education.

In short everytime we pay our taxes we pay for these license.

We need to protect these license and future of these families.  To Mandate Continuing Education for license renewal will only cause hardship.  This only leads to Cosmetologist working with expired license or not working at all.  Hair shows provide the updates on products and methods and sometimes sanitation.  This Combined with the Center for Disease Control is all that is necessary.

In this time of national economic crisis we should put the families and the ability to monitarily support our families first.  Never put a Cosmetologist license at risk over political handshake.

Increase the number of hours on the lower end license to include more emphasis on the sanitation, anatomy & encourage local health department to check for sanitation. Lobby for National License so no one has a break in work. 

Remember we all pay the price for political pettiness.  Message to board:

Choose your battles wisely because we all pay for the boards mistakes in the end.  Many have been made in years past. Presently we all pay the price.
