Illinois Licensing Requirements for Barbering
Each applicant must meet the following requirements:
Safety Requirements: The practice of barbering involves the use of sharp implements as well as chemicals that could be hazardous. Attention to proper safety procedures, which protect both client and technician, are very important, and will be taught during the course.
Physical Demands: The physical demands for a barber are primarily the extensive use of the hands for salon services and the long periods of standing which are required for the services.
Compensation: A study conducted for the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences, Job Demand in the Cosmetology Industry, 2007, found that the total number of salons is up 18.3% and number of salon professionals is up 5%. The number of chairs or workstations is unchanged at 5.1% and the number of employees leaving their positions is down 13%. Nearly 40% of all new positions were filled by inexperienced workers.
This national survey also found that 53% of salon owners reported that they had job openings. The average salon income, including tips, is about $30,000 - $48,000/year. When a person graduates with a barber license, they are qualified to be a hair stylist, hair color specialist, platform artist, product company representative, salon owner/manager and more. Barbers may choose to work in a salon, independently or as booth rental contractors. Most barbers work on commission, so earnings vary depending on the length of time in the business, and the ability to build and retain clientele. A fun and successful career is in your future!

Since 1990, NACCAS has commissioned several Job Demand Surveys, to provide quantitative data on cosmetology careers, earnings potential, and job openings. The most recent survey, completed in May 2007, compiles data from 6,203 salons responding to a national survey.
The 2007 Job Demand Survey results indicate that salons in Illinois plan to hire 20,320 new employees in the next twelve months. The average annual salary for a salon professional in Illinois is $38,646. This amount does not include tips and gratuities. Nationally, the average salon professional’s salary is $35,973.
Most importantly, 72 percent of Illinois salon owners who attempted to hire new employees in 2006 said they were unable to find properly-trained applicants. This means that jobs would be immediately available for salon professionals.
Chart 1 – Percent of anticipated new hires by job category
As of January 2007, there were 103,074 professionals employed at Illinois’s salons. 70 percent of salons in the state are employer-owned, and 13 percent are booth-rental salons. The other 17 percent are a combination of the two.
53 percent of Illinois salons are classified by their owners as full-service salons; 23 percent are listed as haircutting salons. Barbershops make up 9 percent of the total. Nationally, 58 percent of salons are listed as full-service, meaning that Illinois has a slightly higher percentage of specialized establishments.

USCA prefers to resolve all misunderstandings on an informal basis. When disagreements regarding school policies or procedures occur between students, between students and staff, or between staff members, the parties involved must try to resolve the problem amongst themselves. If a solution cannot be reached, or if the problem cannot be resolved then please consult the next higher authority. This means student problems can be taken to the instructor; student/staff disagreement can be taken to the school manager; staff conflicts can be taken to the school manager. The manager will bring all parties involved together to try and work out the problem.
If a satisfactory solution cannot be reached by informal discussion, students and/or staff members may file a written formal complaint with the appropriate director. Business Practice of financial Assistance complaints should be filed with the Director of Admissions & Financial Aid (Amy). All other problems should be filed with the Director of Operations (Jamie). The written complaint should contain specifics of the incident or problem and also a brief description of the steps already taken to resolve the problem. This should include names of persons with whom the problem has been discussed so the Director can interview these persons.
The Director will interview the parties involved and establish a hearing for the complaint. A record will be kept of the complaint filed, persons interviewed, and the outcome of the hearing. After viewing all aspects of the complaint, the Director will make a ruling based on the policies of the school, the regulations by which the school is bound, and the nature of the complaint. In all cases, the Director will make a decision that is fair and equitable to all concerned within the constraints listed above.
If the students or the staff has a problem with management, it can be solved only by discussing the problem with that manager.
If, after following the above procedures, the student of staff member feels that the school has not followed the regulations by which it is bound, that person may take the complaint to one of the following authorities and fill out their complaint form:

USCA/USMT does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, creed, ethnic origin, age or color in any admittance, grading, placement or hiring practice.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination and sexual harassment in schools. Preventing and remedying harassment is essential to ensure a nondiscriminatory, safe environment in which students can learn.
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) requires educational institutions to prohibit offenses of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Eliminating discrimination or harassment of any kind is a high priority. USCA/USMT will respond to any student or employee who reports an incident. If any discrimination or harassment complaints are made USCA/USMT finds it important to act upon the complaints promptly, effectively, and discreetly to resolve the issue. USCA/USMT will also limit or prevent public disclosure of the names of both the party who alleges discrimination or harassment and the name of the alleged harasser except to the extent necessary to carry out a thorough investigation.
USCA’s Title IX Coordinator has the responsibility to oversee and support all Title IX activities, complaints and investigations. The Title IX Coordinator is Carolyn Black (Instructor) and below is the contact information for the Title IV Coordinator:
University of Spa & Cosmetology Arts
Attn: Title IX Coordinator
2913 W White Oaks Dr

Sex discrimination means treating an individual or group unfavorably than another based upon the sex or gender of that individual or group. For students, it involves conduct or statements that deny the student(s) an equal opportunity to fully benefit from the school’s program and activities. For employees, it involves conduct or statements that deny the employee(s) an equal opportunity in employment.
A fellow classmate, employee of the school, or patron of USCA/USMT explicitly or implicitly conditions a student’s participation in an education program or activity or bases an educational decision on the student’s submission to unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive to limit a student’s ability to participate in or benefit from an education program or activity, or to create a hostile or abusive educational environment. It is unlawful whether the student resists and suffers the threatened harm or submits and thus avoids the threatened harm. These acts may be committed by an individual or a group.
Gender-based harassment, which may include acts of verbal, nonverbal, or physical aggression, intimidation, or hostility based on sex, but not involving conduct of a sexual nature if sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive and directed at individuals because of their sex, may be considered sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment is NOT a hug from a teacher, administrator, client or fellow student to comfort or congratulate, or a demonstration of a teaching technique requiring contact with another student/teacher unless these activities take on a sexual connotation and rise to the level of sexual harassment.
In order for the actions to be actionable as harassment, sexual conduct must be unwelcome. Conduct is unwelcome if the student did not request or invite it and “regarded the conduct as undesirable or offensive,” having accepted the conduct does not mean a person welcomed it; i.e., A person may not file a complaint out of fear, or concern that the objections might cause the harasser(s) to make more comments. Also, the fact that a student willingly participated in conduct on one occasion does not prevent them from indicating that the same conduct has become unwelcome on a subsequent occasion.
Sexual assault is a form of sexual harassment. A range of conduct falls into the category of sexual assault, including without limitation sexual violence, sexual battery, sexual coercion, rape, or other sexual contact involving force, threat, intimidation, or without consent.
Consent to sexual activity means words or overt actions indicating that the person is agreeing to a particular act. Consent is informed, knowing, and voluntary. Consent is active and not passive. Silence, in and of itself, cannot be interpreted as consent.
A felony or misdemeanor crime of violence committed by:
Dating violence means violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim; and where the existence of such a relationship shall be determined based on the following factors:
Dating violence includes, but is not limited to, sexual or physical abuse or the threat of such abuse.
Stalking means engaging in a course of conduct (two or more acts) directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to:
USCA/USMT will take immediate and appropriate steps to determine what occurred and take steps to end any sex discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking and eliminate a hostile environment if one has been created, and prevent the offense from occurring again.
Anyone who wishes to make a complaint should bring the complaint to the Title IX Coordinator. However, a student or staff member may bring a complaint to another instructor, admissions officers or the directors of the school. However, the complainant should understand that the complaint will be forwarded to the Title IX Coordinator.
The specific steps in an investigation will vary depending upon the nature of the allegations, the source of the complaint, and any other factors in the individual case. Be assured the school will separate the harasser and the harasee as quickly and discretely as possible. USCA/USMT will take steps to prevent any further offenses and to prevent any retaliation against any student(s) involved in an incidence. These steps are the responsibility of the schools whether or not the student who makes a complaint or otherwise asks the school to take action.
Any physical contact by a student to another student or staff that results in a complaint being filed with school management will be grounds for suspension from school for one week. USCA/USMT will make sure the harassed student(s) know how to report any subsequent problems and make follow-up inquiries to see if there have been any new incidents or any retaliation. A repeat of a similar incident, or any retaliation or intimidation will result in expulsion. USCA/USMT may also terminate a staff member’s employment if they are a party to the incident.
