Thread: Professional Shave for license??

You lost me a bit . . . that is why brushes are not used. Because they don't survive repeated disinfecting. They are in contact with a variety of customers. If you used a new brush on each customer that would work. This is why things like latherizers are so popular with barbershops.

Again though, the expense and difficulty of doing these things is the prime problem.

I wish we could get away from the theory of "it's illegal" and learn more about the people that do do it. Anybody seen that Dickies ad lately that shows the barber giving a shave (yes, with a shavette)???.

I wish I had $5 bucks for every barber who said it was illegal and then admitted that they just thought it was a pain and wasn't profitable.

+1 Agreed!!!

I'm a Hairdresser in VA and DC. I may be able to help. The regulations vary from state to state. But the one thing that the test instructors always look for is cleanliness standards. Tell her to wear gloves when applying shave cream. Have everything clearly labeled too. I have no idea what other requierments she needs to meet. I had to do a perm and study fingernail fungus' for my test. Get back to me if you think I could answer anything for you. All the best-J
