Three hundred hour training required to shampoo hair in Tennessee
A license for shampooing? Classes such as "draping a client with a clean towel" and "brushing hair by 1 inch segments" Ridiculous

From [link to reason.com]

Tennessee is one of only five states that require a license to wash hair, and this is just one of the many senseless licensing laws that the Volunteer State currently has on the books.

But—surprise!—nowhere in the state even offers "shampoo tech" classes at present. So even someone prepared to put in the time and money to become a pro hair-washer right now can't. Their only options would be a) to go through the more rigorous and expensive process (1,500 hours and tens of thousands of dollars in tuition) of obtaining a cosmetology license, or b) to wash hair illegally.

Beware the latter option, however. Those who wash hair without a license face up to six months in prison and a $500 criminal fine, or a $1,000 civil penalty.

"Because no school offers the curriculum for the hair-washing license, there is a shortage of licensed shampoo technicians in the state"

There are many salon owners who "just need someone to help them wash hair or fold towels during peak times," notes Beacon Center, "a position that could be easily filled by friends, family members, interns in cosmetology school, high school students, or retirees. That is, if the government didn’t stand in their way

The people who made that a law should have to go to prison for every hour someone was enrolled in one of those courses.
