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.

NEBRASKA HAIR ARTISTS:

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Do you wish you could make money doing blow-dry or natural hair styling – without the use of chemicals or dyes – but can’t afford cosmetology school?
Do you wish you could work for a salon providing limited hair styling services, to see if the beauty industry is right for you – before committing to the cost of cosmetology school?
Do you wish you could work for a salon while you’re in school, gaining practical experience on the floor drying and styling hair, while getting paid?

No, everyone should be required to get 1,800 hours of training in all services before blow-dry styling hair.

prestados para asistir a la escuela de cosmetología

Los aspirantes a profesionales de la belleza invierten, en promedio, $16,000 para asistir a una escuela de cosmetología requerida por el estado. Además, después de gastar todo este dinero, muchos todavía tienen que recibir capacitación adicional porque su escuela no les enseñó lo que necesitaban aprender.

prestados para asistir a la escuela de cosmetología

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.

horas para asistir a la escuela de cosmetología

Nebraska requires 1,800 hours of cosmetology school – even if an artist only wants to blow-dry style hair. The state is tied for second most burdensome laws in the country.

No est justo that beauty professionals face steeper and more costly licensing requirements than many other fields, including those directly linked to health and safety.

Educación

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.

Tiempo

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.

Regulaciones

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.

Mientras los aspirantes a profesionales de la belleza están en la escuela,gastando money and en lugar de ganando dinero , los que ejercen otras profesiones aprenden en el trabajo o practican sus oficios mientras se ganan la vida desde el primer día. Y eso no es justo.

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.

Algunas personas pueden querer realizar trabajos de maquillaje o de peluquería para eventos especiales.
Otros pueden haber traído un conjunto de habilidades artísticas, como la depilación con hilo y el trenzado del cabello, de otro país.
They could be single parents, caregivers, military spouses, or of modest means and can’t afford the time or cost of school. The expensive licensing system keeps them from pursuing their dreams or dealing with debt.
Además, puede haber otras personas que quieran trabajar en un salón de belleza en el que solo se dediquen a lavar y secar el cabello, pero no pueden hacerlo porque se les exige una licencia. Esto puede dejar afuera a las personas con discapacidades, a los inmigrantes recién llegados con barreras lingüísticas y a otros grupos vulnerables que pueden tener dificultades para encontrar trabajo.

Creemos que los profesionales de la belleza merecen algo mejor.

Institute for Justice es una organización sin fines de lucro que trabaja junto con profesionales de la belleza y otros trabajadores en todo el país para cambiar las leyes que hacen que les sea difícil ganarse la vida. A menudo, las leyes estatales exigen demasiado para trabajar en una profesión, como una capacitación costosa que suele enseñar cosas que no son necesarias.

Existen alternativas a este tipo de leyes que son mejores, de menor costo y menos desafiantes.
Las alternativas facilitarían el trabajo en la industria tanto para los profesionales de la belleza existentes como para los aspirantes.
