NJ Barber case studies

NJ Barber · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling, housed within the Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law and Public Safety, licenses and regulates barbers along with beauticians, cosmetology-hairstylists, manicurists, skin care specialists, teachers, shops and schools, and it registers the students who attend those schools. A New Jersey barber license is the credential the Board issues to practitioners who have completed the required education and want to work lawfully in the state. The Board describes its public-protection role as making sure cosmetologists and hairstylists meet all educational requirements for licensure, investigating and prosecuting licensees who break the state's consumer protection laws, and requiring all cosmetologists and hairstylists to be licensed and to renew every two years. Candidates should expect a written examination covering haircutting and styling, shaving and facial hair services, sanitation and infection control, hair and scalp care, New Jersey laws and regulations, and shop management and professional practices. The NJ Barber case studies are 5 cases and about 2,377 words.
