Common Barbering and Cosmetology License Issues
The California Board of Barbering & Cosmetology regulates all barbers and cosmetologists who want to legally operate a business. When the board receives a complaint or notices misconduct, they will file a formal accusation and investigate the accusation to the fullest. Some common issues Pride Legal defend are:
-Establishment issues
-Illegally practicing outside of a licensed salon
-Use of illegal equipment
-Unsanitary conditions
-Discipline for criminal convictions
The first action you should take once you receive notice of an accusation is to contact an attorney. It’s important to remember to never speak to any board member or any investigator without your attorney present, as anything you say could be used against you when compiling evidence. Pride Legal’s network of attorneys is able to help any client with any accusation from the board.
