A hairstylist must have a minimum of 1,400 hours to qualify for a license.

WHAT CAN BE DONE?
Reduce the barriers imposed by the current system that make it that much harder for those with a criminal record to receive an occupational license

WHAT WOULD THIS MEAN?
Military families, migrants and others who relocate would not be stuck with the only option of starting from scratch
