I ran across an interesting news clip. Check it out here. I can’t wait for the day that all 50 states only make braiders get a braiding license.

There’s no reason for braiders going to cosmetology school. I do believe Braiders need some type of training. But, that’s really not the point here. What stuck out to me was the hatred shown by the both hairstylists towards each other. At least that’s what I got from it.

We all know the situation with this ongoing battle. The Board for Barbers and Cosmetology want our money, and the licensed cosmetologist who use chemicals, etc don’t want the competition. In some states where hair braiders are only required to have a hair braiders license, the competition is thicker and there is more competition for the licensed cosmetologists.

Now, I don’t have a problem with licensed cosmetologists. In fact, I see one regularly. The problem I have is the way we are dealing with the licensing of braiders in certain states… it’s clearly ridiculous.
