Barber Shop Talk
In these troubling political times we at Sunset Point Barber Shop have one more small bit of information we would like to inform the uninformed public about. Why do I say uninformed? Because your state representatives felt it was no concern of yours to be given this information. Well here it is. The Florida Barbers Board has put together a bill which simple states that any student attending a barber school does not have to take and pass a pratical state board exam to prove to anyone that they can cut hair. Your Politicians, barber board members, and those people who represent the Florida Board of Professional Regulation must feel that your haircuts are not important enough for them to test future barbers to make sure they are receiving the proper education pertaining not only to haircutting skills, but also in the study of hair and skin disorders,or about sanitation procedures. I would like to see these political appointees go into a barber shop and get their hair cut by someone who has not been tested and approved by the state. It Would be difficult enough to let a new barber cut your hair, but, what if he/she has not been tested by the state. Could the reason for this be, possibly not enough barber students can pass a state board exam? You ask the question. Let us know what you think. And by all means let your state representatives know how you feel. Think about this next time you go into your barber shop and someone new is going to cut your hair.
BARBER SHOP MYTHS
First Myth: Barbers only cut men's hair.
Truth: Barbers are trained in both men and womens hair, including all chemical services.
Second Myth: Barbers no longer shave because of the aids virus.
Truth: There is no such law on the books. Shaving is legal as long as the Barber uses proper sanitary procedures.
Third Myth: Barber shops are becoming thing of the past.
Truth: Barber shop are becoming more popular with young men as well as executive types and seniors.
Barber shops offer more than just a fast haircut. Some shops are now offering hair color services, shaves, facical and shoulder massages along with many other services.
Please contact the many barber shops listed on line or in the phone book. I am sure you will find one that will fit your needs.
We hope to see you soon.
