Fund Purpose Statement

28101-2100 The State Board of Barber Examiners protects the barber student from potential harm due to unethical practices and /or poor academic preparation.  The board helps barber schools to adequately and effectively prepare students according to specifications established by the North Carolina General Assembly.  Additionally, through its inspectors, the board regularly monitors the performance of practicing apprentice and licensed barbers as well as the slops in which they practice.  Inspectors and board members investigate complaints against shops, barbers, schools, and/or barbering students.  If warranted, the board may place on probation, restrict the activities of, and/or revoke the licenses of barbers, schools, and barbershops.  The board meets regularly to deal with these issues, to hear from barbering students who have been convicted of committing a felony, to hear complaints about the barber profession, and to do whatever is necessary and proper to pursue the goals of the State Board of Barber Examiners.
