Which agency oversees barber licensure in Pennsylvania?

The agency responsible for overseeing barber licensure in Pennsylvania is the Pennsylvania State Board of Cosmetology. This board regulates the practice of cosmetology, which encompasses various grooming professions, including barbering. The board's responsibilities include establishing and enforcing standards for licensure, ensuring that barbers comply with health and safety regulations, and regulating educational programs for barbering.

While the other agencies mentioned play important roles in their respective areas, they do not specifically focus on barber licensure. The Department of Health oversees public health regulations and services, while the Pennsylvania Department of Education manages educational standards across the state, including those for schools but doesn't directly handle barber licensure. The Pennsylvania Board of Barbering may sound relevant, but it does not exist as a separate entity; barbering regulation falls under the broader Pennsylvania State Board of Cosmetology.
