“Today, we are lifting the final restrictions put in place to keep
our people safe during this once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic,” said Gov.
Beshear.
Things appear to be back to normal, however, you may continue to
practice any protocols you find useful, but are no longer required to. This has
been a difficult time for everyone, we appreciate your patience and
cooperation.
Kentucky Board of Barbering
May 17, 2021
As the
Chairman of the Kentucky Board of Barbering I feel it is important to note that The Kentucky Board
of Barbering and the Kentucky Board of Cosmetology are two individual
government boards charged with the regulation of two separate and unique groups
of professionals. In no way do I speak on behalf of the Kentucky Board of
Cosmetology.
At the
Kentucky Board of Barbering we are very concerned with the health and safety of
the consumers who seek the services of professional Barbers and the Barbers
themselves. In fact, we have statutes and regulations requiring certain
sanitary standards that far surpass that of similar professions and it has
always been the mission of the Kentucky Board of Barbering to enforce those
high standards among our licensees.
As the
CDC and the Governor’s office revisit guidelines relative to masks and other
responses to the COVID19 virus we encourage Barber Shops to follow the guidance
from those officials. However, the Kentucky Board of Barbering will be
enforcing State Statutes and Regulations exclusively.
We
encourage Barbers and their patrons to make the decisions they feel most
comfortable with regarding their health and the operation of their business so
long as those decisions are in keeping with State Statutes, Barber Board
Regulations and guidance from the CDC and Governor’s Office.

Crockett, Chairman
