What type of hair services are restricted from licensed restricted barbers in Florida?

Licensed restricted barbers in Florida are specifically limited in the types of hair services they can provide, which includes a restriction on chemical services. This encompasses services that involve the application of chemicals to alter the hair structure, such as coloring, perming, or relaxing the hair. These chemical processes require additional training and licensing because they can affect hair health and safety if not performed correctly.

Restricted barbers are primarily focused on cutting hair and performing basic grooming services, which keep the scope of their practice simpler and more manageable. The prohibition on chemical services emphasizes safety and the practitioner’s expertise in handling potentially hazardous substances. By limiting the services to non-chemical options, such as haircutting and trimming (which do not involve chemical reactions), the state aims to protect clients and ensure that barbers are delivering quality services within their training limits.
