NM Barber case studies
NM Barber · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The New Mexico Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists, part of the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department (NMRLD), sets standards for licensure and renewals to ensure licensed professionals and establishments meet the required standards of education, competency, and practice so customers receive quality services. The board regulates Barbers, Cosmetologists, Estheticians, Electrologists, Hairdressers, Manicurists/Pedicurists, Establishments, and Barbers and Cosmetologists Schools. This page is an independent study resource for candidates preparing for New Mexico board licensure in these practice areas; it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the board or NMRLD. Board licensure content spans both hands-on practice standards and the regulatory side of the industry: sanitation and infection control, which the board enforces through establishment inspections, plus the licensing, renewal, instructor/training, continuing education, discipline, and fee rules published by the board. The NM Barber case studies are 5 cases and about 4,530 words.
