Michigan stylists, barbers, salon/shop owners and clients have expressed concern about the lack of continuing education in the state. 

• Professionals are spending their hard-earned money travelling across state lines to attend continuing education classes.
• Educators are discouraged from providing CEU courses because it is not a requirement.
• Salon owners complain that graduates are not prepared and need additional and consistent education.

State mandated continuing education provides:

• Opportunities for professionals to enhance their skills in several industry areas, including business, making professionals more marketable and hirable.
• Consistent health and safety training, providing piece of mind for clients and communities.

Let's encourage our legislators to bring continuining education back for the Michigan beauty industry!
