⁣ ⚠️ Wait - don’t panic! ⚠️⁣
⁣
Rumors have been swirling about the impact of SB803 on our industry, reaching a fever pitch this week after the Assembly Committee on Business and Professions hearing yesterday in Sacramento.⁣
⁣
It’s myth busting time! 💥⁣
⁣
Let’s address the most popular misinformation, in no particular order:⁣
⁣
🔹 “SB803 will eliminate the option to booth rent beginning January 2022.”⁣
⁣
This is 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲. SB803 does not change AB5, which gives all licensees the option to booth rent.⁣
⁣
🔹 “SB803 deregulates hair cutting, which means just anyone will be able to cut hair.”⁣
⁣
This is 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲. Amendments to the bill will preserve the requirement to be licensed to perform all hair services currently regulated by the BBC.⁣
⁣
🔹 “Elimination of the practical exam means a less-qualified workforce.” ⁣
⁣
This is 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲. The practical exam measures your ability to pass the practical exam, not the quality or safety of your work.⁣
⁣
🔹 “1,000 hours in beauty school isn’t enough to learn everything a cosmetologist needs to know to be successful.”⁣
⁣
This is 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲. When states can’t justify the current curriculum hour requirements, legislators will make adjustments to reduce barriers to entry. Most licensed professionals would agree that the majority of useful learning happens on the job.⁣
⁣
🔹 “Chain salons and manufacturers are sponsoring this bill to hurt independent salon professionals.”⁣
⁣
This is 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲. SB803 is a sunset review bill produced by a legislative committee and will be revised multiple times throughout the process. Any organization or individual may express their support or opposition.⁣
⁣
Any surprises? 🤯⁣
⁣
Bad actors in our industry have something to gain (or lose) by perpetuating misinformation. 🚩🚩🚩⁣
⁣
Refer to the most current amendments when forming your opinion.⁣
⁣
Our sources are cited in each slide, and are easily accessible through Google. ⁣
⁣
➡️ Share this with anyone who may be panicking about SB803. ⬅️⁣

[ Save & Share! ] Truly independent contractors like booth renters should issue form 1099 MISC to their salon landlord each year. ⁣⭐️
⁣
The rent you pay to the salon is considered income for them, and if you pay more than $600 in rent in a year, a 1099-MISC should be issued each year. ⁣
⁣
From the IRS: ⁣
⁣
“As a booth renter you must issue Form 1099-MISC for business rent paid of more than $600 or more to non-corporate landlords each year.”⁣
⁣
This is why salons giving workers a 1099-MISC or 1099 NEC is very very rarely correct.⁣
⁣
More from the IRS:⁣
⁣
“A booth renter is someone who leases space from an existing business and operates their own business as an independent contractor. As a booth renter, or independent contractor, you are responsible for your own record-keeping and timely filing of returns and payments of taxes related to your business.⁣
⁣
Indications that you are an independent contractor include, but are not limited to:⁣
• Having a key to the establishment⁣
• Setting your own hours⁣
• Purchasing your own products⁣
• Having your own phone number and business name⁣
• Determining the prices to be charged⁣
⁣
If these factors are not present, then you are likely an employee of the business who is providing the space to you.”⁣
⁣
Our episode this week discusses what happens when employee misclassification leads to wage theft - and it’s more common than you think.⁣

12/07/2021

💸 Are you classified as an independent contractor, but controlled like an employee?

💸 Does your salon owner give you a 1099?

💸 Are you paid commission-only?

If you answered yes, this episode is a must listen.

Wage theft and other illegal employment practices have become so common in the beauty industry because beauty pros don’t know their rights.

We review different forms of wage theft in part 1 of this important and timely discussion.

⁣
President Biden is expected to sign an Executive Order that may have major ramifications for the future of our industry.⁣

⁣
What will this mean for our industry? We’re assembling some experts and advocates to discuss in an emergency Live Room right here tonight at 7pm PT/10pm ET.⁣

Does a practical exam ensure better beauty pros?✂️💅💄🧖‍♀️

What purpose does a practical exam serve in proving our readiness for working in the beauty industry?

Is this a necessary requirement to protect consumers, or just another barrier to entry that should be eliminated?

We consider the value and validity of a live demonstration of our skills in light of the recent proposal to eliminate practical exams in California.

Let us know - did you have a practical exam or a written test (or both?)

We’re all bringing normal back -⁣
⁣
But it’s fair to admit that we’re not all sure how to act… (clients included.)⁣
⁣
As the summer heats up, we’re trying to bring back normal routines to our salons and work, but with new perspective on what matters most. ⁣
⁣
How do we reconcile our need for self-care with our changing priorities as beauty pros? ⁣
⁣
Adopting new routines gives us hope for a summer season filled with family, friends and clients.⁣

Spread the word 📌⁣
⁣
Our newest episode covers all of the “what if’s” surrounding vaccination and the workplace. ⁣
⁣
We asked attorney Amy Toepper of what the law requires and allows about asking vaccine status, asking clients to wear masks, what HIPAA actually is, and why asking these questions or refusing service is NOT discrimination. ⁣
⁣
Info around this topic is often clouded by emotion and we both appreciate your shares in getting the real, correct information out there.⁣
⁣
As beauty professionals, we must be prepared for these conversations before they happen. Many thanks to Amy for helping us understand the legalities around this provocative topic. ⁣

What rights do we have and what accommodations or exceptions, if any, should we be prepared to make? ⁣

While COVID vaccinations bring more normalcy to our daily lives, they complicate our relationships with clients and coworkers.
