About this listen

 Hello, and welcome to this week's episode of our campus news podcast. Today is Monday, August 11, 2025, and we've got some exciting updates from the Arizona Academy of Beauty. First up, we're thrilled to announce that our academy is celebrating over 60 years of excellence in cosmetology education. Since our founding in 1961, we've been dedicated to preparing students for successful careers in the beauty industry. Our programs in Cosmetology and Nail Technology continue to evolve, offering flexible schedules and comprehensive training to meet the needs of our diverse student body. In industry news, the Arizona beauty sector is experiencing significant growth. The state is projected to generate $142.7 million in revenue this year in the cosmetic and beauty products manufacturing industry. This flourishing industry offers promising opportunities for our graduates as they step into the professional world. On the legislative front, earlier this year, House Bill 2031 was introduced, proposing the dissolution of the Arizona Barbering and Cosmetology Board. This bill has raised concerns among beauty professionals statewide, as the board plays a crucial role in regulating our industry and ensuring public safety. We encourage our students and staff to stay informed and engaged on this matter. In more positive news, the "Blow-Dry Freedom Bill" recently took effect, removing occupational licensing requirements for blow-drying, shampooing, and styling hair. This change opens up new opportunities for professionals and students alike, allowing for greater flexibility and innovation in the services we offer. That's all for this week's updates. Stay tuned for more news and events from the Arizona Academy of Beauty.
