Florida cosmetology law requires barbers and cosmetologists to post their license and picture where customers can see it.  Until Tuesday, October 6, home addresses were also required to be posted. This change gives cosmetologists and barbers comfort knowing that their personal information is no longer easily accessible to the public.

According to this article, Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation says the change wasn’t prompted by any incident or crime – it’s simply a safety precaution. The request for the change was made by representatives of the states nearly 200,000 barbers and cosmetologists.

Many cosmetologists and barbers – especially those with a lot of walk-in business – are relieved with this change. Is your home address listed on your license? If yes, did/does your home address being posted publicly for all to see concern you?
