It's not. In many states it's a 6-month program. A "don't spread disease" course could be done in 8 hours.
It's about making it harder for people to compete with the existing hair dressers. It's about forcing students into schools. It's about extracting rent from the economy.

- jrs235 7y agoFunny how the chair of the county GOP where I currently live belongs to a party, the GOP, that screams about too many regulations and government shouldn't be picking winners and losers yet he and his wife own and operate a salon school, which in our state is required to cut hair and consists of hundreds of hours to "graduate". The hypocrisy is sickening...
- civilian 7y agoIDK, If he's voicing his support for licensing, or not doing anything about licenses, then yeah it's hypocrisy. But there are a _lot_ of regulations to take down, and this simply might not be high on his priority list. Should his wife be doing black-market hair styling? Just because someone is compelled into an arrangement they speak against doesn't mean it's hypocrisy.
- jrs235 7y agoHis wife isn't cutting hair, she's selling required snake oil "education" and debt to others. They say one thing, regulations are bad, but profit off of them. They don't need to be in the business... But it's profitable. They haven't and don't fight the regulation that profits them. They are modern day Pharisees.
