FL Barber case studies
FL Barber · Put your knowledge to work in context.
A Florida barber license authorizes a person to practice barbering in the state - shaving, cutting, trimming, coloring, shampooing, arranging, dressing, curling or waving the hair or beard, and applying oils, creams, lotions or other preparations to the face, scalp or neck, for remuneration and for the public, but not for the treatment of disease or physical or mental ailments. The Barbers' Board, within the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, licenses three credentials: Barber (BB), Restricted Barber (BR) - whose practice is limited to hair cutting, shaving, shampooing, blow drying, and applying hair tonics and hair sprays - and Barbershop (BS).
