South Carolina Barber and Cosmetology Professional License Defense Attorneys
Whether you are a recent graduate, or a seasoned professional, as a licensed barber or cosmetologist, you have made a significant investment in your future and worked hard to develop your skills.
In South Carolina, operating as a cosmetologist is regulated by the State Board of Cosmetology. If you possess a license as a registered barber, you are subject to regulation by the State Board of Barber Examiners. If you are under investigation with the South Carolina Board of Cosmetology, you need a Cosmetology license defense attorney.
If you are thinking about going out on your own to start a new school, seeking to be licensed as an instructor, or simply concerned about whether your initial request for a license or request for licensure by reciprocity will be granted, we can work on your behalf to help you prepare to go before the South Carolina Cosmetology Boards as well as the South Carolina Board of Barber Examiners.
We also accept cases defending a charge and/or complaint asserted against you or your business.
