NCA’s Legislative Agenda

As a not for profit professional association, NCA’s core values are to provide legislative leadership, inspire creativity, embrace life-long learning, and give back to our personal and professional communities.

OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA SUPPORTS

• The ongoing requirements for licensure of all salon professionals;
• Various state regulations that promote safety and sanitation in the salon;
• Fair and equitable taxation of salons and individual cosmetologists;
• Requirements for mandatory continuing education for re-licensure; and
• The provision of adequate funding from license revenue to support salon inspections and the enforcement of current regulations.
