California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 3 — Professions and Vocations GenerallyChapter 10 — Barbering and CosmetologyArticle 4 — ApprenticeshipSection 7332
(a) An apprentice is any person who is licensed by the board to engage in learning or acquiring a knowledge of barbering, cosmetology, skin care, nail care, or electrology, in a licensed establishment under the supervision of a licensee approved by the board.
(b) For purposes of this section, “under the supervision of a licensee” means that the apprentice shall be supervised at all times by a licensee approved by the board while performing services in a licensed establishment. At no time shall an apprentice be the only individual working in the establishment. An apprentice that is not being supervised by a licensee, that has been approved by the board to supervise an apprentice, shall be deemed to be practicing unlicensed under this chapter.
Notes
Defines an apprentice as a board-licensed person learning barbering, cosmetology, skin care, nail care, or electrology in a licensed establishment under an approved licensee’s supervision. Requires continuous approved supervision while services are performed, prohibits an apprentice from being the establishment’s sole worker, and treats unsupervised apprentice practice as unlicensed practice.
