Beginning Jan. 1, beauty professionals in Tennessee are required to undergo anti-domestic violence training, WSMV reports. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Sam Whitson, R-Franklin, Sen. Becky Massey, R-Knoxville, and the YWCA of Nashville & Middle Tennessee. International disinfectant maker, Barbicide, and the YWCA teamed up to create the Shear Haven Domestic Violence Training – a training video for salon owners and stylists on how to recognize the signs of domestic violence and navigate conversations with clients who might be in danger. The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance and the state Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners are playing significant roles in launching this initiative, which will cost employees nothing.
