March and May 2024 Cosmetology Hygiene and Safety Training Sessions

The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) invites all relevant personnel working in the cosmetology field to enrol in their Cosmetology Hygiene and Safety training sessions. The sessions, scheduled for March 25 and May 20 in 2024, will be held at the Red Cross Conference Room in George Town. The department emphasizes that it is compulsory for all new entrants to the industry and workers whose certifications have expired to attend these sessions. Cosmetology practitioners such as hairdressers, barbers, tattoo and body piercing technicians are among those required to attend these sessions.

This educational initiative by the DEH aims to ensure that industry standards for hygiene and safety in the cosmetology field are maintained and raised. Such knowledge is fundamental in preserving good public health especially because customer safety is important in the line of work that involves direct physical contact. Hence, a special focus is given to workers whose certification has passed the three-year validity period to ensure industry standards remain current and relevant.

The registration process is free from complexity, with a nominal fee of $15 per person to cover course materials. The DEH encourages interested individuals to make payment at their headquarters situated at 580 North Sound Road. Payments can be made anytime from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm during weekdays. It is an essential prerequisite which ensures the smooth running of the sessions and helps cater for logistics and necessary documentation.

For additional clarity or inquiries regarding the training, the DEH has opened up multiple channels of communication for the public. Individuals can connect with the department by calling them at 949-6696. Alternatively, they can launch their inquiries and get prompt responses by sending an email to their official address, dehcustomerservice@gov.ky. This is in line with the department’s commitment to engaging with the public and delivering efficient customer service.

In conclusion, the DEH’s efforts in providing training for cosmetology practitioners is a progressive move in ensuring consistent safety standards in the industry. The training presents an excellent opportunity for professionals in the industry to improve their knowledge, enhance their skills, and ultimately deliver better-quality services to their diverse clients.
