Topless Barber Charged With Unlicensed Cosmetology

The AP reports

"
A woman who allegedly offered topless hairstyling services in northern Colorado faces criminal charges. But police say the problem isn't cutting hair without a top. It's cutting hair without a license.

The Longmont Times-Call reports ( http://goo.gl/Hh55PN ) 46-year old Suzette Hall was arrested Wednesday night on suspicion of practicing cosmetology without a license.

Hall's former partner says she advertised $45 topless haircuts online.

According to the arrest warrant, the former partner called police about the topless styling because she "did not believe this was safe or proper."

Police weren't able to turn up any Craigslist ads.

Hall's ex-husband told police she set up shop in Loveland and offered services as "Rebel Barber." He told police she applied for "a nude license for hairstylists," but no such license exists.

The issue of unlicensed topless barbers is something that not enough people worry about. But they present a very real danger to our society.

Personally, the sooner I'm out of the chair, the better, but as long as I'm stuck there if I can look at a game or some boobs I'm happier.

The thought of her going to jail for it seems as exciting as ripping the tag off the mattress.

Self-righteous indignation has it's own pathology, BTW.

Just sayin'
