Not content with only facing the ire of firemen, teachers, and mammogram technicians, Kevin Stitt is now trying to alienate workers in yet another beloved profession — cosmetology.
Earlier this legislative session, our esteemed Governor Stitt – or as eyebrow waxers call him, Public Enemy Number 1 – vetoed a bill that would have extended the Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering, a.k.a. the agency responsible for regulating, licensing, and protecting the public from rogue nail techs, jailhouse barbers, and folks who learned how to do Brazilian waxes on YouTube.
Since professional hairstylists, estheticians, barbers, nail techs, massage therapists, etc., would rather not have a wave of unlicensed freelancers and Paul’s Beauty College dropouts flooding their industry, they stormed the Capitol to complain like a man who just got a bad haircut.
