Board of Barbering and Cosmetology

California Board Of Barbering And Cosmetology Lawyers

Board of Barbering and Cosmetology California barbers, cosmetologists, manicurists, estheticians and salon owners throughout the state are required to be licensed by the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. The Board’s primary responsibility is to “protect the public” and secondarily to license and discipline licensees and establishments in California.

A formal complaint against a California cosmetology/barber license, also called an “Accusation” is the Board’s notice to you that they are seeking to revoke or suspend your barber/cosmetology license and is very serious. You should not handle such a case on your own, despite what the Attorney General is likely to tell you, and should immediately contact the highly experienced attorneys at the Law Offices of Brown & Brown for a free initial consultation.

How to Respond to an “Accusation” or formal complaint by the Board

When you first receive an “Accusation” or charging document in the mail from the Board, or when you even learn that you might receive one, you should immediately contact the attorneys at Brown & Brown. What is most important is that you fight the urge to contact the Attorney General (the lawyer for the Board) and discuss your case directly with him or her. What you say at this point can often harm your case beyond repair. This is precisely why it is so important to have experienced administrative counsel behind you to speak for you and to keep you from saying anything that might harm your case and increase the likelihood of revocation. Remain silent, contact Brown & Brown for a free consultation right away, and sleep well knowing you have the most experienced attorneys in this area of practice in California working for you and protecting your license.
