Who we serve
The cosmetology profession includes hairdressers, manicurists and aestheticians, who provide a variety of services including haircutting, hairstyling, manicuring, and aesthetics. Barbers provide haircutting, hairstyling, facial shaving, permanent waving, hair coloring, and facial services to the general public, but primarily to men. Electrologists provide hair removal through the application of an electrical current to the hair follicle. All three professions are regulated by the Board of Registration of Cosmetology and Barbering.
