Reply to comment by chait1199 in Sununu calls for eliminating 34 licenses, 14 regulatory boards by rocio719

Actually there is a lot to being a stylist. If your ok with them not being licensed then let them wax your eyebrows and color your hair and see how your experience goes. most stylist spend more time fixing at home haircuts and dye jobs then anything else. Working with hair/product chemicals and understanding how they work can be dangerous. This is why it pays to be licensed and not end up with a lawsuit.

There's a big range between getting your hair cut and getting it styled.

I was thinking about infections in regard to cosmetology. Nail fungi etc, I wouldn’t trust an unlicensed worker for practically anything. Isn’t the purpose of a professional license the fact that it’s a sign of professionalism and a guard against malpractice? A business screws up and their license to practice is in jeopardy.

An unlicensed cosmetologist uses unsterile materials and repeated customers get eye infections. What recourse do the customers have? Does the cosmetologist stay in business? There’s no license to lose.

Legit, this is only going to make affluent New Hampshirite women even more dependent on Massachusetts than before. Educated, rich New Hampshirite women already go to Massachusetts for luxury shopping, and other luxury services. Now they will also go to Massachusetts for haircuts, eyebrow microblading, eyebrow plucking, pubic hair removal, and to get their nails done.
