The board shall conduct examinations of applicants for certificates of registration to practice as registered barbers not more than six times each year, at such time and place as the board may determine. Additional written examinations may be scheduled by the board and conducted by board staff as designated by the board. The proprietor of a barber school must file an affidavit with the board of hours completed by students applying to take the registered barber examination. Students must complete the full 1,500-hour curriculum in a barber school approved by the board within the past four years to be eligible for examination. Barber students who have completed barber school more than four years prior to application, that have not obtained a barber registration, license, or certificate in any jurisdiction must complete an additional 500 hours of barber school education to be eligible for the registered barber examination. Registered barbers that fail to renew their registration for four or more years are required to take the registered barber examination to reinstate the registration.
