TDLR offers you the opportunity to renew your barbering or cosmetology license online but have you ever wondered why we encourage online renewal? Your first thought may be it benefits the Department but provides no advantage to you. If that is what you are thinking you are right…and you are wrong.
Renewing online does cut down the time TDLR employees spend handling the paperwork. An employee in the mailroom, one in financial management and still another in licensing must process your application when you apply by mail. Fewer people and less time are involved when you renew your license online; freeing employees to work on processing new licenses. TDLR has over 570,000 licensees and the majority of those people renew their license every year online; creating a more time and cost effective renewal process.
The advantage for you to renew your license online is it saves you time and it is fast and easy. Online renewal does require you to pay the fee with a credit card or a bank-issued Mastercard or Visa debit card (not an ATM card), but this also speeds up issuance of the license. From the time you fill out your online renewal application to the time you receive your new license is only a matter of days, rather than several weeks if you apply using a paper renewal form. The online renewal form can be accessed at:
https://www.license.state.tx.us/App_Online/default.asp?bhcp=1.
TDLR is seeing an increase in the number of barbers and cosmetologists taking advantage of this free service but would like to see an even greater number of licensees use it.
Check your license expiration date today and see if you might join your fellow professionals who are already renewing their license online. Become a computer techie and impress your children or grandchildren, as well as yourself!
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation Statement on “Fish Pedicure” Procedure
October 8, 2008
Contact: Susan Stanford
512-463-3208
AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) received several inquiries about a procedure known as “fish pedicure” or “doctor fish.” This procedure involves a customer placing his or her feet in a footbath in which fish eat dead skin cells on the customer’s feet. The issue is whether cosmetology and barber establishments may offer this procedure in Texas.
TDLR concludes that this procedure is not permitted in Texas under TDLR’s health and safety rules.
TDLR researched the health and safety aspects of the procedure, including seeking the opinion of officials at the Texas Department of State Health Services. Based on this research, we believe that the procedure poses an undue risk to public health and is not consistent with TDLR’s health and safety rules at 16 Texas Administrative Code, Sections 82.100 – 82.114 (barber) and 83.100 – 83.114 (cosmetology). TDLR rules do not permit this procedure because the same fish are used on multiple customers and could transmit infectious diseases. Additionally, the use of live fish does not allow for the footbaths and the holding tank for the fish to be adequately cleaned and disinfected in accordance with the rules

Summer 2009 is all about low maintenance hair color and making color last longer. We can expect to see a lot more highlights, because they only need to be redone every 2-3 months and grow out with a distinct line. Blondes will be more pale, but still golden like butterscotch, toffee and baby blond. Brunettes will be more solid with just a few highlights (1-2 shades lighter than the base) to break up the color so that it doesn’t look fake or wig-like. Redheads will be redheads. Red is a high maintenance color no matter what, because it fades faster than other colors. We will see more copper and strawberry blondes, but still very vibrant.
A team of Japanese scientists has found an enzyme that could be the key for the future development of the first “Green hair coloring” in the world. What’s its big advantage? It prevents from the damage that conventional hair coloring products cause to the hair, such as weakness and loss of elasticity, among others.
In the incessant search for smoother chemical agents, a group of researchers of the University of Kobe (Japan) have found an ecological component. They discovered an enzyme that not only opens the door to a new product for hair coloring, but also would improve the existing dyes that are available on the market. The discovery will reduce the amount of hydrogen peroxide and the resulting damages it causes.
This is the first enzyme able of breaking down the human hair’s melanin (the body pigment that gives color), in the same way the hydrogen peroxide does. This decomposition is essential in the oxidation process for coloring hair.
This enzyme is a type of hydrogen peroxide which only requires a small amount of it to complete the reaction of decomposition. Its concentration is one per 1,000, compared with current dyes and bleaches.
Unfortunately, there is still some way to go. Enzymes are expensive, unstable and allergenic, so it is complicated to put enzymes in commercial products.

Clean Shops Earn Respect
If You Have Time to Lean, You Have Time to Clean
A barber’s pride in his profession is evident not only in the quality of service provided to customers but also in the cleanliness of the shop and tools. Most Texas barbers show their pride of being a barber by following the Barbering Rules and respecting the health and safety of their clients. But, a few barbers lack pride of profession and practice their trade in unsafe shops, using tools that have not been properly cleaned.
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation investigators recently inspected a barber shop and found chairs with torn seats and other repairs that needed to be attended to. Unfortunately, the shop’s poor condition didn’t stop there: floor tiles in the working area needed to be fixed or replaced. Texas Barbering Rules require shop owners to keep floors, walls, ceilings, shelves, furniture and furnishings clean and in good repair, with a smooth, washable surface. A shop in poor condition is a safety hazard for shop patrons and the barbers working the floor.
The poor condition of this shop was not the only violation TDLR investigators found. A barber performing services in the shop was doing so with an expired Class A license! Keeping your license current is your responsibility and should be taken seriously, it is your license to making a living.
Finally, keeping tools clean is a sanitation rule but clean tools also protect the safety of your customers. Two barbers working in the shop were cited with violations when TDLR investigators found disinfectant containers used for cleaning tools contaminated with debris and hair clippings.
The Texas Administrative Code states disinfectants that tools are to be immersed in must be prepared fresh daily or even more often if the solution becomes diluted or dirty.
Barbers are respected for their skill by clients but this respect has to be earned. A little extra time spent keeping your shop clean and healthy demonstrates pride of your profession and proves to your customers that the respect is mutual.
