nebraska beauty professionals deserve
Belleza,
no obstáculos
Nebraska requires hair artists to get 1,800 hours of training in school – regardless of what service they want to provide, their background, or if an apprenticeship would let them start earning sooner.
Cosmetology school is a BIG investment – and beauty professionals have to spend a LOT of money before they are ever allowed to earn a penny, no matter what service they want to provide.
But some other states let beauty professionals blow dry and do natural styling – no chemicals, dyes, or cutting – without first getting a cosmetology license. This has created a lot of opportunity in the industry, for both artists and salon owners.
Nebraska is considering allowing blow-dry, special-event, and natural hair styling without first having to pay for 1,800 hours of school. Would this help you?
Nebraska is tied for 2nd most burdensome cosmetology Licensing laws in the country.
And the cost of complying with those laws is entirely on you. That’s not fair.

Los aspirantes a profesionales de la belleza invierten, en promedio, $16,000 para asistir a una escuela de cosmetología requerida por el estado.

Los estudiantes a menudo se endeudan mucho con los préstamos estudiantiles para pagar la escuela. Sin embargo, los programas rara vez permiten que los estudiantes se gradúen a tiempo, lo que retrasa o incluso bloquea la entrada de los aspirantes a profesionales de la belleza en el mercado laboral y aumenta la carga de su deuda.

Chefs prepare food that is ingested by customers and aren’t required to get a license or go to school. They take a short, simple sanitation course, and the restaurant is subject to inspections. It’s up to the chef whether they want to go to culinary school.

In Nebraska, EMTs – who administer life-saving aid -have to get 150 hours of training to get a license to work. Compare that to 1,800 for beauty.

Personal trainers aren’t required to have a license. Tattooing is arguably riskier and more invasive than what cosmetologists do, but Nebraska only requires four hours of training.
Beauty, Not Barriers is an initiative of the nonprofit institute for justice, dedicated to uplifting the beauty industry by breaking down barriers that force far too many beauty artists into debt, out of work, or unable to hire.
Beauty professionals deserve flexibility and options, like so many other occupations enjoy—not a one-size-fits-all approach that demands 1,800 hours of expensive training, regardless of one’s interests, goals, or background.
Los profesionales de la belleza merecen más opciones y flexibilidad.
Not everyone wants to use chemicals or engage in all the cosmetology skills: some beauty professionals only want to provide narrow services, like blow-dry or natural hair styling.
