“”Right now, hairstylists in Connecticut need almost a year of education before they can work at their trade,” Darwyyn Deyo, a professor of economics at San Jose State University, tells Reason<\/em>. “Although efforts at improving inclusivity and equity can improve outdated state-mandated curriculum, SB 178 could also make it harder for aspiring hairstylists to afford their training by increasing the cost of education.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research from the Institute for Justice, published in November 2022, found<\/a> that “too many licensing burdens are excessively onerous or entirely unnecessary” because “red tape forces aspiring workers to waste time and money or, worse yet, shuts them out of work.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the authors of that study, Kyle Sweetland, a research analyst at the Pacific Legal Foundation, tells Reason<\/em> that the new Connecticut law is no exception. “While everyone loves to get a good haircut,” Sweetland says, “requiring beauticians in Connecticut to spend more hours in training\u2014as Public Act No. 24-53 will do\u2014is unfair to debt-burdened beauticians in the state and could lead to higher prices for customers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If there is an unmet demand and high prices for cutting a certain type of hair,” he adds, “salons have a strong financial incentive to train their beauticians on cutting this type of hair\u2014or to hire beauticians who know how to do so already.””<\/p>\n\n\n\n
