Section 34-5-6

Barber colleges - Certification generally.

As used in this chapter, "barber college" includes a school of barbering, college of barbering, barber school and any other place or institution for the instruction or training of persons in the practice of barbering.

No person shall operate a barber college unless he holds a certificate of registration in good standing therefor issued by the board and unless such certificate is displayed at all times in a conspicuous place on the premises.

The board shall issue a certificate of registration for each college which complies with this chapter and the regulations of the board.

An applicant for a certificate of registration to operate a barber college shall file an application with the board in such form as the board may prescribe, accompanied by the fee required by this chapter. Upon receipt of the application, the board shall require the applicant, if an individual or, if the applicant is a firm, partnership or corporation, a partner or officer thereof, to appear personally before the board and submit information, in such form as the board may by regulation prescribe, showing:

(1) The location of the proposed college and its physical facilities and equipment;

(2) The proposed maximum number of students to be trained at one time and the number of instructors to be provided;

(3) The nature and terms of the applicant's right of possession of the proposed premises, whether by lease, ownership or otherwise;

(4) The financial ability of the applicant to operate the college in accordance with the requirements of this chapter and the regulations of the board; and

(5) Such other information as the board considers necessary.

Prior to the issuance of the certificate, the board or its representative shall inspect the college and shall determine that it complies with this chapter and the regulations of the board. Before making such inspection, the board may require the applicant to furnish such evidence as is necessary to show compliance with any local laws governing the operation of barber colleges in the particular locality in which the college is to be located.
