Beauty Industry Regulations: The Inspectors are Coming













Let's have a talk about our industry. Where do you see it heading? Beyond the styling and beautifying aspect of what we do for our clients as professionals, we want to produce steady revenue that enables us to reinvest in our businesses (technology, equipment, marketing, etc.). Our ability to do this successfully depends on complying with the industry regulations and standards the ensure the safety, health and satisfaction of the people we serve. The beauty industry has been relatively free from regulations since about the middle of the 1990s. But I've noticed more recently inspectors have been coming around. This is a good thing, in my opinion.

Inspections are in the best interest of consumer protection and are important to raising the bar on service provided by salon owners and stylists. If you're a salon owner or a stylist or client, I'd love to know your thoughts and experiences with regulatory changes over the last 10 to 15 years. Have you noticed improvements in your business as a result or have things gotten worse over time? Where do you see our industry heading into the future? -"Hair Doc"

It's Not a Black Thing, It's a Hair Thing

To professonal hair stylists and students: Have you consciously chosen to work ( currently working) in an all-white, all-black, all-asian etc. salon, or a salon whose environment reflects solely your particular ethnicity, race and/or culture? Are all your clients a reflection of your own ethnicity/race? Are you afraid to engage and cultivate a multicultural clientele? I'd love to hear your story and your reasoning if you're willing to share. Being a product of our environment or upbringing does not have to pigeon-hole and limit our capacity to broaden our perspectives. People truly are people, just as "hair is hair," no matter whose head it rests on. What you've experienced can be a timely and valuable lesson for someone else. -"Hair Doc"
