The deregulation of cosmetology licenses is happening in Illinois now, take action!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scottsdale, AZ (February 27, 2020) <\/strong>\u2013 The Professional Beauty Association (PBA), the largest and most inclusive national trade organization representing the professional beauty industry, has issued an action alert to oppose cosmetology deregulation in Illinois. PBA views this legislation as a detriment to consumer safety, and encourages action opposing this bill accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illinois House Bill 5558, introduced by Representative Allen Skillicorn, will allow any individual to practice cosmetology, esthetics, nail technology, and barbering without a license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government Affairs Director Myra Reddy explains why this legislation is a detriment to the industry, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cDeregulation of occupational licensing for the professional beauty industry places both the consumer and those providing services at a real health risk. Occupational licensing of beauty professionals is not a barrier to work, instead the requirement of an education allows for lifelong stable career that cannot be outsourced and supports our U.S. economy.\u201d<\/p>\nMya Reddy, Government Affairs Director<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

To take action:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
