What prevents a student from receiving a student license or enrolling in a barber school?

A student is not able to receive a student license or enroll in a barber school if they have a contagious, communicable, infectious disease. This regulation is in place to ensure the health and safety of both students and clients within the barbering environment. Barbers work closely with clients, often involving direct physical contact, and any infectious disease poses a risk not only to the individual but also to the broader community.

The laws prioritize public health in the beauty and personal care industry. By prohibiting individuals with certain health conditions from participating in training, the regulations aim to mitigate the spread of diseases and maintain a safe working environment for everyone involved.

Other factors that may affect a student's ability to enroll or receive a student license, such as training hours, payment of fees, or mentorship, are important but do not primarily focus on the immediate health risks associated with contagious diseases. While these requirements also play a role, they do not carry the same level of urgency in protecting the health of others as the requirement pertaining to communicable diseases does.
