Dear Legislator,
My health and safety and the health and safety of the clients that I serve is in your hands. Recently, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Georgia Institute of Technology signed an Alliance with the Georgia Concerned Beauty Professionals to address the significant health and safety concerns that affect me and the clients that I serve. As a Licensed Beauty Professional, I should be required to complete continuing education every year in health, safety and sanitation. As a Licensed Beauty Professional, I am insisting that my required continuing education hours include health, safety and sanitation information from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Georgia Institute of Technology. As a Licensed Beauty Professional, I am also insisting that my health, safety and sanitation continuing education be taught in a physical classroom to provide hands-on, applicable instruction and accountability to my state. In addition, I am insisting that these required hours of continuing education in health, safety and sanitation be administered at NO COST to me.
I know that as my Legislator, protecting my health and safety and the health and safety of citizens is your sworn duty. Therefore, I am asking that you support our initiative to reform continuing education for Licensed Beauty Professionals and "Make Salons Safe".

I honestly never thought this would gain this much steam but here we are and it is wild to see so many people finally paying attention to how we work. It feels like every time I open my phone there is another notification and it really makes me think we might actually get someone to listen to us about these classroom requirements.

I strongly believe in this movement. please join us as we reconnect,reform,resource and rebuild our industry.
As a 20 year cosmetologist/licensed educator in cosmetology and certified trichologist. Deregulation not only affects me, but the community at large. To deregulate this industry is to open up a can of worms on health, sanitation, disease and hair and scalp disorders.
I love this industry. I totally agree with measures created to successfully keep stylist educated so that we may continue to educate or clients.
Finally some common sense. My shop cares about sanitation and we need the state to back us up on this.
Yes!! We need to keep the classroom training. Online is way too easy to just click thru and learn nothing. We work with chemicals every single day and safety is not a joke!!
We must do what ever it takes to make our industry safe in GA.
Keep the movement going would like to get a tee shirt how much

Deregulation is absurd, not only are our beauty professional license are at risk, our beauty/barberschools, the health of the consumer, the license professional, and shop/salon owners will be facing major lawsuits.
