PBA views this legislation as a detriment to consumer safety, and encourages action opposing these bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tennessee\u2019s salon industry is a vibrant and growing industry, generating $1.1 billion in annual sales and providing employment for more than 8,800 individuals. Between 2008 and 2018, the number of salon industry jobs in Tennessee increased 11%. In comparison, total private sector employment in the state also rose 11% during the same 10-year period. Not only does the state\u2019s salon industry provide employment opportunities in a challenging economic environment, it also gives individuals of all backgrounds the ability to start their own business. In fact, 75% of Tennessee\u2019s salon businesses are owned by women, compared to only 36% of businesses in the state\u2019s overall private sector. 46% of business in Tennessee\u2019s salon industry are Black or African American owned, as well, versus just 14% of total private sector businesses in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current national system ensures that professionals holding a license as a cosmetologist have received structured training in a public or private licensed school and have passed the required test established by state regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Government Affairs Director Myra Reddy shares why these companion bills are so detrimental to both consumers and the professional beauty industry,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLicensing for the professional beauty industry should remain mandatory due to the use of highly concentrated professional chemicals\/products, the use of instruments, and the hands on nature of professional services provided to the hair, skin, and body. Cosmetology and barbering fees provide $2,534,800 dollars of revenue a year in Tennessee, and the beauty industry employs 9,000 licensed individuals. Occupational licensing is not a barrier to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Myra Reddy, Government Affairs Director<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To take action, Tennessee
