PURPOSE: This rule establishes the requirements and
				  procedures for obtaining a barber license by examination.
(1) All applicants for a barber license shall
				meet all requirements in section
				328.080,
				RSMo, and the applicable rules of the board before taking the
				examination.
(2) Application for
				examination shall be made on the forms provided by the board. Applications may
				be obtained by writing or calling the board. The mailing address is: PO Box
				1062, Jefferson City, MO 65102 and the telephone number is (573) 751-0805 or
				toll free number is (866) 762-9432. The TDD number is (800) 735-2966.
(3) Upon graduation from a Missouri school
				licensed by the board, or an apprentice barber establishment, an application
				for examination may be obtained from the school, apprentice supervisor or the
				board upon a satisfactory showing that training requirements are completed.
				Applicants that have currently graduated from an out-of-state licensed barber
				school or apprentice barber establishment, and upon satisfactory showing that
				training requirements are completed, may obtain an application for examination
				from the board.
(4) No training
				received in a school may be credited towards the fulfillment of the hours
				necessary in an apprenticeship program and no training received in a barber
				establishment may be credited towards the hours required in a school to meet
				the minimum requirements necessary to qualify for a state
				examination.
(5) Temporary Permit.
				An individual who has applied to take the state examination may, at the same
				time, apply for a temporary permit to practice as a barber. Individuals
				operating under a temporary permit shall be under the supervision of a barber
				currently licensed by the board. A temporary permit issued to a student or
				apprentice will be terminated if the student or apprentice fails to pass an
				examination or fails to appear for a scheduled examination. Thereafter, the
				person may practice as a barber in Missouri only after passing a state
				examination and receiving a license. An additional temporary permit shall not
				be extended for any individual.
(6)
				In order to be scheduled for examination, all training hours must be completed
				and a properly completed application on a form supplied by the board must be
				received by the board within five (5) years from the date the board issues the
				relevant student/apprentice license. The Application for Examination/Temporary
				Permit Form must be received in the test administrator's office, along with all
				applicable examination fees, no less than fourteen (14) days prior to the date
				of the scheduled examination the applicant desires to take. Applications
				received after the cut-off date and all applications received after every
				available space for the examination has been filled, whether that application
				was received prior to or after this cut-off date, shall be scheduled for the
				next regularly scheduled examination. Applicants shall comply with all
				applicable rules of the test administrator.
(7) At the discretion of the board, the
				examination may be administered by the board or its authorized representative
				or the board may contract with a third party for testing/examination services.
				All parts of the examination must be passed for licensure. The minimum passing
				examination scores required for licensure as a barber are seventy-five (75) for
				the practical examination and a score of seventy-five (75) for the written
				examination.
(8) Failure of any
				portion of the examination will require the applicant to reapply with the
				applicable fee for examination. Applicants shall be required to retake only the
				portion(s) of the examination that were failed.
(9) Pursuant to Chapter 328, RSMo and the
				board's statutory duty to assess qualifications and skill, training completed
				by a student or apprentice shall be recognized by the board for a period of no
				more than five (5) years from the date it is received.
(10) Upon notification from the board of
				passing scores on both portions of the examination for licensure as a barber,
				the applicable fee for a license shall be submitted to the board to lawfully
				practice as a barber. If the fee is not submitted to the board within two (2)
				years of notification from the board of passing scores, the applicant shall
				reapply to retake both portions of the examination.
(11) Barber License Posted. Upon licensure,
				every licensed barber shall post a current license issued by the board in front
				of the barber's working chair where it shall be readily seen by all
				patrons.
