As part of the designation of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) and the state Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners remind all licensed beauty professionals to complete their mandatory domestic violence training before December 31, 2025.
In 2021, the Tennessee General Assembly passed a law requiring all of Tennessee’s licensed beauty professionals to receive free training (either online or in-person) to help recognize the signs of abuse, how to respond appropriately, and what resources are available to assist domestic violence victims.
If a licensee does not complete the training, their license will be invalid.
The Shear Haven Domestic Violence Training video for salon owners and stylists can be on the TDCI website.
