What should I say?

Use your own words.

Keep it short. Keep it real. Tell them what they need to hear from someone who actually lives this every day.

→ You might include:
  • Why this rule doesn't reflect how your career actually works
  • How it would impact your school, your business, or your future
  • Why financial aid matters for the next generation of beauty pros
  • What this industry has done for your life, family, or community
  • If you needed a student loan to attend beauty school — say so
Example

"I work in the beauty industry, and this rule does not reflect how our careers actually work. Many professionals are part-time or self-employed, and earnings grow over time. This rule could reduce access to education and hurt our workforce and the future of our industry."

Don't copy this word-for-word. Use it as inspiration. Your voice. Your story. Your truth.

Quick talking points to pull from.

Unfair comparison Doesn't reflect real work patterns Disproportionate impact on women Misrepresents entrepreneurial careers Misses long-term success
One more thing

This isn't political.

This is about the government not understanding the impact we make every single day, and sharing our real-life stories so they can finally see it.

Anyone who wants to go to school to become a beauty or wellness professional should be able to. Nobody should have to skip it because they can't afford it. Nobody should be forced into one of just a handful of options because the rest got shut down.

Access and choice are the most important things for our industry.

If this rule passes, incredible businesses will close. Schools will shutter. Salons will go understaffed. The next generation will lose the path that built ours.

Protect the future of our industry by protecting the present.

Your voice matters.
Share your impact today. Because your impact doesn't just change lives. It changes legislation.

Ready? Let's go.

Your voice is the only thing that
can stop this rule.
