(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2031) Sec. 2-7. Examination of applicants. The Department shall hold examinations of applicants for licensure as barbers and barber teachers at such times and places as it may determine. Upon request, the examinations shall be administered in Spanish and any other language as determined by the Department to be necessary pursuant to the Language Equity and Access Act. Each applicant shall be given an examination testing both theoretical and practical knowledge of the following subjects insofar as they are related and applicable to the practice of barber science and art: (1) anatomy, (2) physiology, (3) skin diseases, (4) hygiene and sanitation, (5) barber history, (6) this Act and the rules for the administration of this Act, (7) hair cutting and styling, (8) shaving, shampooing, and permanent waving, (9) massaging, (10) bleaching, tinting, and coloring, and (11) implements. The examination of applicants for licensure as a barber teacher shall include: (a) practice of barbering and styling, (b) theory of barbering, (c) methods of teaching, and (d) school management. An applicant for licensure as a barber who has completed 1,200 hours in the study of barbering may take the examination. If an applicant for licensure as a barber fails to pass 3 examinations conducted by the Department, the applicant shall, before taking a subsequent examination, furnish evidence of not less than 100 hours of additional study of barbering in a licensed school of barbering or cosmetology since the applicant last took the examination. If an applicant for licensure as a barber teacher fails to pass 3 examinations conducted by the Department, the applicant shall, before taking a subsequent examination, furnish evidence of not less than 80 hours of additional study in teaching methodology and educational psychology in a licensed school of barbering or cosmetology since the applicant last took the examination. The requirements for remedial training set forth in this Section may be waived in whole or in part by the Department upon proof to the Department that the applicant has demonstrated competence to again sit for the examination or if the Department otherwise determines a waiver is appropriate. The Department shall adopt rules establishing standards by which this determination shall be made.
