Hair-Braider Sues over Utah Law Requiring Cosmetology Licens
Saturday, April 30, 2011
Jestina Clayton (photo: Jim Urquhart, Associated Press) Jestina Clayton is suing the state of Utah for requiring her to get a cosmetology license so she can weave hair—something she claims is unconstitutional.
A refugee from Sierra Leone, Clayton says she was told by a state regulator two years ago that she would not need licensing for her part-time work, since her traditional African hairstyling does not involve chemicals or cutting. Then, last year, she discovered her business was illegal unless she obtained a cosmetology license. But getting a license requires taking about 2,000 hours of coursework, at a cost ranging from $9,000 to $18,000 in tuition. Clayton makes less than $5,000 a year braiding hair.
With the help of the libertarian Institute for Justice, Clayton has filed a lawsuit to force the state to change its cosmetology law. Mississippi did just that in 2005, by amending its statute as it pertains to hair-braiders.
Another 10 states, including California and Arizona, already exempt braiders from such laws.

They use glue when they braid hair and glue is a chemical.

don't most states require cosmetologists to go to school and pass exams to be licensed to do their jobs?
