New Illinois Domestic Violence Law Requires Salon Worker Training
Illinois Domestic Violence Law now mandates that salon professionals receive training to recognize signs of domestic violence and sexual assault in their clients. Under this new law, cosmetologists, barbers, and nail technicians must complete a one-hour, one-time training before they can obtain or renew their licenses. While salon workers are not required to report suspected abuse, they are trained to offer support by providing resources like domestic violence hotline information. This initiative aims to empower salon professionals to help victims safely access assistance and escape harmful situations.
