The Board of Hairdressers and Beauty Culturists was created by an
Act of the General Assembly in 1935 (Code 1939, Art. 43, sec. 480). It
is charged with the responsibility of examining, licensing and register-
ing all persons engaged in or teaching hairdressing or beauty culture.
By promulgating rules and regulations governing the conduct and
sanitation of hairdressing and beauty culture, it is the duty of the
Board to prevent the spread of contagious and infectious diseases.
Members of the Board are appointed by the Governor for terms of
three years. Members must be citizens of the State of Maryland, must
have at least five years' practical experience in hairdressing or beauty
culture, but cannot be members of nor affiliated with any establish-
ment or concern manufacturing or selling merchandise or commodities
used in hairdressing or beauty shops, nor be directly or indirectly
connected with any school of beauty culture. No two members who are
graduates of the same school of beauty culture shall serve at the
same time..

The Board appoints a secretary who shall not be a member of the
Board. It also employs a chief inspector. In connection with prohibit-
ing any illegal practice, the Board may conduct hearings, compel the
attendance of witnesses, and administer oaths. Examinations are held,
every three months, under the supervision of three Board members.
Examinations are both written and practical; the written examination
is held in one of the high schools of Baltimore, and the practical
examination is held in one of the beauty shops. All beauty shops and
schools are under the supervision of the Board in all matters pertain-
ing to health and sanitation..
