I think that the excessively high cost for the  renewal FEE is very outrageoius and unfair. Your Agency should rethink this over and come up with a better fee. I am head of household, with no extra help I make less than $250, almost every week as a stylist. I have an in structor's certificate which I never use to teach or instruct  because I cannot find a position with the credencial. There are many like me, who make minimal and others are just trying to keep their license currentor up to date in case they need it in the future but with this fee they may have to let it go. I have a New York state cosmetology license and my renewal fee is only $20 every two years. You gain $85. from each and every cosmetologist and about $175. from cosmetologist/instructor,  plus the extra from the other professions like the barbers,nail techs and so forth.. What is being done to enchance the beauty  industry. We all will like an itemize list of what is being done with the extra money.

Is there a news letter or updates we should be getting periodically in regards the beauty industry or a membership to something? I am just asking. I am sure there are hair stylist out there who do not have a  license, do not have to pay this high fee andare  making more money than I do. Where is the justice.
