The
Board of Barbers and Hairdressers is staffed by the
Division
of
Corporations, Business, and Professional
Licensing. The board consists
of two barbers; two hairdressers, one of whom is also
licensed as an esthetician, one person licensed to practice
body piercing or licensed to practice tattooing and
permanent cosmetic coloring; and one public member.
Board members are appointed by the governor and confirmed
by the legislature.
The
board adopts regulations to carry out laws governing
the practice of barbering, hairdressing, and cosmetology
in Alaska. It makes final licensing decisions and takes
disciplinary actions against people who violate licensing
laws. The board meets three times a year and offers a public
comment period at each meeting. Meeting agendas and
minutes
are available from the licensing examiner and will
be posted to this website once prepared.
