California Health and Safety Regulations: Key Updates

California’s barbershops are subject to stringent health and safety regulations designed to ensure client and staff well-being. According to the California Business and Professions Code § 7320, barbershops must adhere to specific sanitation protocols. These protocols include the use of EPA-approved disinfectants and the maintenance of proper hygiene practices. The California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology regularly updates these regulations to keep pace with evolving health standards.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, California has introduced additional measures to enhance safety in barbershops. As of 2023, new requirements mandate the use of HEPA filters and the implementation of rigorous cleaning protocols. These updates are aimed at reducing the risk of virus transmission and ensuring a safe environment for both barbers and clients. Barbershops are also required to adopt enhanced ventilation systems and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as part of these measures.

Stay informed about these regulations to maintain compliance and uphold the highest standards of hygiene and safety in your barbershop.
