SALONS Stories Act
Domestic Violence Training for Barbers and Cosmetologists

Legislative Progress
This bill has support from both parties and addresses a popular issue, but it still needs to pass through committees and find time for a full vote.
Key Points
- This bill encourages states to require domestic violence training for people getting their barber or hair stylist licenses. States that pass these laws would get a 10 percent boost in federal grants used to fight domestic violence.
- The training would teach stylists how to spot signs of abuse, how to talk to clients about it, and where to send them for help. To make it easy for workers, the training must be free and can be done online or in person.
- Barbers and hair stylists often have close, trusting relationships with their clients. This bill aims to use those connections to help victims who might not feel safe talking to anyone else.
- Congress would set aside $5 million each year through 2032 to pay for these grant increases. States could receive this extra money for up to three years if they keep the training requirements in place.
