They Voted to End Your License and You Didn't Even Know

Georgia's Bill 354 already passed in 2025, a few months of training, no license, heat to a client's hair. Jakki Dee lays out exactly how deregulation moves through a legislature: a lobbyist, a bill, a trade of votes, and a public that never knew it was on the floor. He walks through what a license actually protects, accountability, insurance, recourse when a product burns or a scalp reacts, and predicts the five-year outcome if nothing changes: corporate salons paying $18/hour to walk-ins while working professionals price themselves out. But he doesn't let the industry off the hook either, lack of education, neglected clients, and a craft that hasn't raised its game. The ask is simple: go to protectthebeautyindustry.com and vote no. If you're a stylist, barber, or salon owner, or anyone who buys a beauty product, this is your wake-up call.
