Read all about it! Hair salons up in arms about proposed changes to ‘dumb down’ the industry. Click on the image to open it up in a new window
In my part of the world, there’s a critical shortage of qualified stylists. So the state government, in its wisdom, has come up with a stunning solution, which, according to its detractors, will dumb things down so that anybody with a pulse can become a hairdresser!
Under the proposed new law, hair stylists will be exempt from registration and it will no longer be classified as a trade. Not surprisingly, hair salons are up in arms about the changes. In this story I clipped from my morning paper this week, they’re talking about a class action against the new bill, and, claims one, “You’re talking about professionals who have to mix chemicals and put it on people’s scalps.”
What do you think? Comment below if you feel you can add to the debate, and we’ll keep an eye on responses.
