re: Louisiana forces hair braiders to get 500 hours of training

Seems like overkill , but I just picked a random state to compare:
How do you become a licensed hair braider in Ohio?
General requirements for a hair braider license? Complete a 450-hour program and pass a comprehensive exam to earn a braiding license.

I’m not saying 500 hours is ok, just that a random state requires almost equivalent.
I would say that random state requirement is equally insane.

I would like to see a recap of fines collected under this law.
Also how about those stupid florist licenses?

The amount of licensing required to try and do business in this state is absolutely insane. Why would a florist, or hair dresser, or make-up artist require a license? I get an engineer or roofing company to an extent, but seriously why would anyone on a beautician field need a license?

I know 2 white girls that recently became skin care techs, estetitian, or some shite. Both posted on Facebook regularly throughout their schooling (maybe 6 months) and both acted like they earned a Masters from Vanderbilt when graduated. So, it’s not just a racket for black folks.

Most states require 1500 hours for a cosmetology license

They are trained to use chemicals that burn the top layers of your face off, it’s a bit more complex than hair braiding

5000 hours for a plumbing license. These numbers are so arbitrary. Some guys need 2000 hours, some need 10,000. If you can pass the test, you should be able to get your license.

somewhere someone has to benefit from people spending money for 500 hrs of training. follow the money.
1000 percent. I remember back in the day you had to drive coach around for a day to pass drivers ed. don’t know all the details now but it looks like you have to pay $$$ to some private company now to get the privilege to even test. The good folks in Baton Rouge looking out for the little guys

here is a licensing board for just about every profession in Louisiana. Our state impedes free commerce at every turn
For no good purpose. When someone gets screwed by a contractor, the contractor’s board is no help. I don’t expect that this board is doing much more than protecting their racquet - just like the state contracting board.

Other opponents note the fact that the Board of Cosmetology, by law, is comprised of licensed cosmetologists and cosmetology instructors, some of whom own their own salons and cosmetology schools.
The nine-member panel created the regulations, and Neely suggested the board members stand to benefit most from the 500-hour demand.

Instead of going through all that they could just breed and sell pit bulls. No authorization or permit required at all.

Only 496 to become the police.

Louisiana lawmakers have made efforts to rein in the occupational regulations in the world of cosmetology. In 2017, state Rep. Julie Emerson (R-Carencro) authored a bill that sought to define natural hair braiding and removed all the regulations on it. The measure was approved overwhelmingly in the House, but was narrowly defeated by a single vote on the Senate floor.
During this year's session, state Rep. Mary DuBuisson (R-Slidell) sponsored a bill aimed at reducing the minimum training stylists need to obtain their cosmetology license from 1,500 hours to 1,200 hours. Salon owners lobbied hard against the proposal after it cleared the House and it never reached a Senate committee.
"It's all about money," DuBuisson said when asked why there was such opposition.
LA Senate - "Nothing to see here..."
500 hours from a board certified and accredited institution to braid hair. Outrageous.

The Institute for Justice indicates 27 states have no licensing requirements for breading, including neighboring states like Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas.
Fifteen other states have regulations less burdensome than Louisiana’s. Braiders in South Carolina only have to take a six-hour class and pass a safety and sanitation exam to be certified, while those in Oregon need to complete only a five-hour online module.
A handful of states like Massachusetts and Montana require braiders to get a full cosmetology license.
So 27 have no regulations, 15 have less stringent regulations. The South Carolina one makes too much sense if "health and safety" are the board's concern.

Shaquanda, working out of her living room of her 7th Ward rental is not gonna like this.
Total overkill by the lawmakers trying to justify their existence.

Gotta be a subscriber.
My mom used to be a hair artist, and worked for Redken. She owned several upscale salons and was active as a lobbyist for the cosmetologists in the state, eventually becoming the chairwoman of the state board for cosmetology.
The barber lobby was and still is strong in Louisiana. She had to fight for the right of cosmetologists to be able to use scissors and a straight razor to cut hair. It took two years, as the Barber lobby was supporting so many state representatives and senators to stop it and hair stylists from cutting in on their business.
Eventually, she was able to get the laws changed, and that's why it is now legal for women to cut hair.
My mom.

500 hours to braid hair? This smells like another way for the douche nozzles in the state to make money off of small business owners.

500 hours
Takes less time to get a Batchelor's Degree. Probably cheaper though.
