Terrible coverage as usual from wmur. Doesn’t even link the actual bill so people can read specifics and understand further , they are such a garbage organization…like so many

Like others say, stay in school to learn your skill. Whether a license is required or not I am certainly not going to let someone who hasn’t studied in the field to cut my hair…you r schooling will definitely be worthwhile but totally understand why you would pose your question after watching that.

Remember, it still has to pass house and senate

Among the licenses that would be repealed include individual barbering and cosmetology licenses as long as the facility is licensed, licensed nursing assistants and medical technicians, radiation therapists who administer radiation treatment to cancer patients and nuclear medicine technologists who administer the drugs used for various screenings and MRI technologists. - wmur

The whole point is without the licensing requirement if you go to a place like super cuts you probably will have let someone who hasn't studied cut your hair at some point. How do you know? If you ask do you ask every time? What about someone who is travelling how would they know? If only there was some type of way to tell people this person is competent is keeping their tools clean...because the license is not that you are good at cutting hair it is that you can cut hair without cutting the person...

Based on the time I went to Supercuts i left there with the impression they certainly didn't study to cut hair.

Well, yeah. You wouldn’t go to Jiffy Lube for transmission service. Experience and education matter.

I wouldn't go to a low end hair salon anyways.

Eliminating a licence requirement is only going to make affluent New Hampshirite women go to Massachusetts to find a top-of-the-industry hair stylist.

Just like how affluent New Hampshirites already go to Massachusetts for luxury shopping, luxury services, and rare disease doctors.

That was terrible and I should’ve done a little more research before posing the question but as another user posted it seems to be focused on out of staters looking to move to NH but hitting that licensing barrier. There were a lot of good points made on this thread so still glad I asked.

Just a side note, we’ve been told/being prepared for our state board exams and our instructors have emphasized that they don’t even look for how well you perform a service, what they are really looking for is proper hygiene, cleaning, disinfecting and sanitation practices. We can wrap a perm like complete garbage but putting my comb down once picked up is a huge no-no.
