Or. Admin. Code § 715-045-0200 - Barbering, Hair Design, Esthetics, and Nail Technology
(1) For purposes of this rule, a "practical
operation" is the demonstration and application of a relevant skill or group of
skills necessary for work in barbering, hair design, esthetics, or nail
technology. For the purposes of this rule, the 'model curriculum' is a
curriculum established and maintained by the Higher Education Coordinating
Commission which details mandatory curricular requirements, including, but not
limited to practical operations requirements, safety and sanitation
requirements, and career development requirements established in this rule. The
model curriculum is available for review by all schools.
(2) No earlier than May 1, 2019 and no later
than July 1, 2019, continuing to be in effect thereafter, schools must offer
programs that meet the following minimum training requirements, in accordance
with the model curriculum:
(a) For hair
design, 1110 hours and 455 practical operations.
(b) For barbering, 746 hours and 465
practical operations.
(c) For
esthetics, 444 hours and 220 practical operations.
(d) For nail technology, 241 hours and 70
practical operations.
(e) Safety
and sanitation shall be incorporated in each practical experience for the
fields of practice identified in subsections (1) (a) through (d), in accordance
with the model curriculum.
(f)
Schools, at their discretion, may add additional hours to any program listed
above. There is no minimum or maximum number of hours that a school may add to
the hours required in subsections (1) (a) through (d). If hours are added to
the minimum required, those hours become part of the schools completion
requirements.
(3) In
addition to the program requirements listed in subsection (1), students must
successfully complete 20 hours of career development, in accordance with the
model curriculum. A student who attempts multiple programs shall only be
required to complete the career development component once.
(4) A student enrolled in a program at the
time subsection (1) of this rule takes effect shall be allowed to complete the
program in which they are enrolled under the terms for their original
enrollment agreement, unless a rider to the enrollment agreement, signed by
both the student and an authorized representative of the school, is executed,
specifying that the student agrees to complete such program under different
requirements. Before a rider to the enrollment agreement is executed, the
school shall:
(a) Review student's current
program requirements in comparison to the revised program
requirements.
(b) Provide the
student information in writing about which set of program requirements may be
most beneficial to student, in terms of length of time to complete, cost, and
use of federal financial aid.
(c)
Provide student with a program that gives credit for applicable hours already
earned and practical operations completed and outlines a revised course of
study that meets the minimum requirements.
(d) Determine if cost differences, if any,
between the student's current program and the revised program result in an
overpayment on behalf of the student, and issue any necessary refund to the
student, except as provided by federal law or other controlling statute or
regulation.
(5)
Individual progress records must be regularly maintained for the purpose of
monitoring each student's progress through the instructional program and
verifying actual hours of instruction in each certifiable classification. Once
a student completes the minimum hourly training requirements specified in
subsection (1) of this section and the school's own program completion
requirements, the school shall administer a Commission-approved written and
practical exam prior to the student taking the State Board exam for licensure.
The time required to take the practical exam shall be included as part of the
contracted program hours included in the tuition cost.
(6) The Commission shall develop the model
curriculum with the assistance of a curriculum committee, including minimum
curriculum content standards for each certificated program or any combination
of programs.
(7) No student shall
perform any practical operation in a clinic lab without first having achieved
verifiable minimum competence, as determined and documented by the school.
(8) The instructional program
shall determine the type of assignments students will receive in the clinic
lab. Clinic lab assignments should, as nearly as possible, reflect the emphasis
of the student's current and cumulative theory and laboratory experiences.
Schools shall establish a minimum and maximum number of clinic activities for
each type of task required in the clinic lab. These minimums and maximums
should show a comparable distribution of activities reflective of industry
practice. Only when students have completed the minimum in all areas can they
be assigned to clinic activities in excess of the maximums.
(9) With the exception of a
Commission-approved cosmetology teacher training program, a school shall not
conduct both fixed-hour and student competency-based training programs in the
same school facility concurrently unless the school is in transition from one
training program to another. The Commission may set a time limit in which the
transition must be completed.
(10)
No school shall enroll a student wishing to transfer hours from a school of
barbering, hair design, esthetics, or nail technology in Oregon or out-of-state
without first receiving an official transcript properly signed or sealed
directly from the previous schools. A school may admit a student on a temporary
basis without receiving an official transcript. In no event should a student be
considered a graduate until an official transcript from all prior schools is in
the graduating school's student file. Schools shall evaluate and grant
appropriate credit for any education and training students received at state
regulated postsecondary schools.
(11) Schools shall validate only their own
hours of instruction provided a student but not any hours provided by other
schools.
(12) Upon receipt and
evaluation of official transcripts from schools previously attended:
(a) Schools shall give full credit for hours
earned within the last ten years; and
(b) Schools may grant credit for hours earned
prior to the last ten years, if approved by the Executive Director.
(13) No school shall deny a
student a record of hours earned. A record of hours does not infer or include
the official transcript.
(14) The
school shall have as a minimum the following staff present at all times:
(a) 1-15 students present - one registered
teacher;
(b) 16-30 students present
- two registered teachers; and
(c)
One additional registered teacher for each additional 20 students or part
thereof. Teachers must be certified in all areas they teach and supervise. When
only one teacher is present at the school, clinic lab operations, and classroom
instruction shall not occur simultaneously. The lone teacher shall conduct and
supervise one or the other but not both concurrently. Teachers who supervise
the clinic lab and/or approve student practical performance must be certified
in all areas they supervise or approve;
(d) Exceptions to the student to teacher
ratios in subsection 12(a)-(c) may be granted for theory or lecture classes
only. All hands-on practical lab and clinic lab classes are required to
maintain specified staffing ratios.
(15) The minimum teaching staff, as set forth
in these rules, shall not perform administrative or financial aid or any other
non-instructional duties during the time that the clinic lab and classroom
instruction are taking place concurrently.
(16) A teacher or student teacher shall not
perform any services in the school during school hours except for teaching
purposes.
(17) All services
performed by students shall take place under the supervision and direction of a
registered teacher.
(18) Premises
shall be used during school hours only for instructing students and teacher
trainees in barbering, hair design, esthetics, or nail technology.
(19) The school shall provide a minimum of
2,800 square feet of total floor space to be allocated as follows; one work
station for each of the first twenty students; one additional work station for
every five students in excess of twenty; and, where hair design is taught, one

any exception to this requirement. Classroom and clinic space are in compliance
with OAR 715-045-0022. Schools must comply with ORS
345.240 relative to accessibility of programs for persons with handicapping
conditions.
(20) The Executive
Director may approve a facility of less than 2,800 square feet of floor space
for schools if the school presents a written plan as to how the number of
students will be served in the space provided. The plan must include how the
school meets the entire model curriculum standards.
(21) The school shall be separated from
adjoining rooms used for another business or for domestic purposes, by means of
walls or substantial partitions extending from floor to ceiling; all doors
leading to the school from the aforesaid adjoining rooms must be kept closed.
Access to the school shall be provided by means of an outside or separate
entrance, or from a public passageway in a public building.
(22) Each school shall include the names of
all actively employed (full-time or part-time) registered teachers on its
annual license renewal application.
(23) A licensed school of barbering, hair
design, esthetics, or nail technology may offer a teacher training program if
it complies with the following:
