Barber applicants must meet training and exam requirements

The law sets barber-license requirements for applicants, including an application, fees, exams, and qualifying training. These rules cover people applying for an Arizona barber license, including cosmetologists and hairstylists licensed under this chapter. Applicants generally must be at least 16 and have two years of high school or an equivalent, or be at least 18. Training may come from a qualifying out-of-state school, a board-licensed school course of at least 1,200 hours, or an approved apprenticeship that includes at least 250 hours of infection-protection instruction. A cosmetologist or hairstylist licensed under this chapter must complete a 200-hour barbering techniques course in a board-licensed school.

The board terminates on July 1, 2034, and the related laws are repealed on January 1, 2035. The dates apply to the Barbering and Cosmetology Board and the listed state laws governing it. The board terminates July 1, 2034. The laws are repealed January 1, 2035.

The law lowers several maximum fees the board may charge for licenses, renewals, and classes.
