In California, the Assembly Committee on Labor and Employment amended and approved AB 2437 last week. As currently drafted, the bill requires the state’s Labor Commissioner, on or before June 1, 2017, to develop a model notice "pertaining to the workplace rights and wage and hour laws for employees of establishments licensed under the Barbering and Cosmetology Act." The notice required by the bill, at a minimum, must include information on the following: misclassification of an employee as an independent contractor; wage and hour laws, including, but not limited to, minimum wage, overtime compensation, meal periods, and rest periods; tip or gratuity distribution; how to report violations of the law; business expense reimbursement, and; protection from retaliation.
 
Beauty Change Lives
 
   
Do BCL mentorships make a difference in the lives of aspiring professionals? A gracious note from Belinda Crooks (Carousel Beauty College Fall 2015 Mentorship Experience winner) reveals the answer is an unequivocal "Yes!" Belinda recently wrote to BCL, "I figured I would touch base with you since my BCL experience. This opportunity has opened up so many doors for me. I have been able to participate in several local fashion shows, am building a good clientele and hope to get my work published in a local magazine. With the extra education from Nick Berardi, I’ve been able to do some astonishing work. I still stay in touch with Nick and a few of the hairstylists I met during my internship and I’ve had a chance to work with other Wella platform artists and educators. Thank you again!" And thanks to Belinda for her words of gratitude.
 
PR Tips
While just about every social-networking platform now has its own fully integrated advertising system, Facebook still reigns supreme in terms of features, insights and audience. As a business, that means Facebook is the ideal place to start. But unfortunately, just because Facebook is a great platform for advertising doesn’t mean all brands use it effectively. Many end up wasting money and throwing resources down the drain, because they have no strategy or don’t understand how to use it. Hopefully that’s not you. All it takes to succeed is a little knowledge of how Facebook advertising works and what some of the best practices are. Learn more in this Entrepreneur article.
