SALT LAKE CITY Should shampooing, blow-drying and styling hair require a cosmetology license?
That question has sparked a debate between one Utah lawmaker and hairstylists concerned about potential safety issues.
“If kids are going to prom and one high school student decides that they want to make a little bit of money by blow-drying and styling their friend’s hair going into prom, that’s a violation of our licensing,” bill sponsor Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo, told other senators late last week.
