How many combs and brushes must each cosmetologist have?

The requirement for each cosmetologist to have a minimum of 12 combs and 12 brushes aligns with the standards set forth by the Mississippi State Board of Cosmetology. This quantity ensures that cosmetologists are adequately equipped for various hair styling and grooming services, allowing for effective and sanitary practices.

Having a sufficient number of combs and brushes is essential not only for versatility in hairstyling techniques but also for maintaining hygiene standards, as it enables the cosmetologist to have dedicated tools for different clients and services. The specific number of 12 represents a balanced approach to providing comprehensive hair services while ensuring that tools can be properly cleaned and sanitized between uses, thereby upholding public safety and health standards.
