Unraveling Unconstitutional Government Regulation in Arizona

Eyebrow threading is a natural and safe method of hair removal that uses a single strand of cotton thread to remove unwanted hair, most commonly from the eyebrows, with no chemicals, dyes, hot wax or sharp objects. But state bureaucrats have decided that threaders cannot practice their trade without first obtaining an unnecessary and expensive government license. The Arizona Board of Cosmetology is now requiring skilled threaders to obtain an aesthetician license, which requires at least 600 hours of classroom instruction—not one hour of which teaches or tests threading—and that can cost over $10,000. But threaders do not need full-blown cosmetology training.

Another excellent example of the "corporatism" (not capitalism) that is destroying this country.

I fully support the IJ in their fight against rent seeking and all other infringements upon liberty!

I'm so Happy to see People stand up for their rights! Go IJ!

What's funny is that if the beauty colleges tried to teach a class in threading, all the students would have more knowledge, skill, and experience than the teacher.

Rent seeking...the American way! It's made Greece what it is today.  Yes we can!

This seems like the sort of thing that people from all political points of view should be able to support!
