Do I need a license to braid

Many States require individuals to obtain a Cosmetology license to braid, but in rent years this law has been deregulated. Some States allow a individual to braid ONLY, without providing a shampoo and conditioning service.
 

Why is having a license important

When you are working on someones hair in any faucet, you are taking a risk of spreading bacteria, contagious diseases, and viruses. Learning how to properly clean, disinfect and sanitize can prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. This is taught in schools and through apprenticeships.

Also knowing about the disorders and diseases of the hair and skin, anatomy of the body, State and Federal Regulations, Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines and Safety Data Sheets can help in preventing negligence.

Having a State License certifies that you have been properly educated.
