It was something much worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I realized through the training is that I think her husband was pulling her hair from the back, pulling it out from the abuse,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The law goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2022, following a successful initiative first launched in 2017 by veteran Nashville stylist \u2014 and survivor of abuse \u2014 Susanne Post. She worked with the YWCA Nashville &amp; Middle Tennessee, which runs the region\u2019s largest women\u2019s emergency shelter and has been engaged in anti-domestic violence education for more than four decades.<\/p>\n<p>Legislation to require the course came to a head thanks to state lawmakers, commerce agency officials and the state Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTennessee\u2019s beauty professionals are caring, compassionate individuals who are committed to ensuring the health and safety of all their customers, but may not know how to respond when confronted with domestic violence,\u201d said board executive director Roxana Gumucio <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tn.gov\/commerce\/news\/2021\/7\/27\/new-domestic-violence-education-training-for-licensed--cosmetologists-and-barbers-may-save-lives-in-tennessee.html\">in a statement<\/a> made on July 27, when the bill was passed. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Gumucio added, \u201cMost domestic violence victims will not report abuse to law enforcement, but they will tell someone with whom they have a long-standing relationship, such as a cosmetologist or barber.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cathcart\u2019s training also began years before the legislation was introduced. She sought help from Shear Haven when she \u201clearned that [stylists] are one of the people that the abusers will let the victim still come to,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Post urged her colleagues to be vigilant this way, not only about physical injury, but the ways in which abusers wield power psychologically. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt might be that their partner comes with them to every appointment,\u201d she said. \u201cOr is always waiting in the car. Or maybe someone is very uncomfortable about making a change because they\u2019re afraid of what their partner might think.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The anti-domestic violence policy will see that all 50,000 of the state\u2019s licensed beauty professionals will have the resources and wherewithal to assist victims. The free training is currently being <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.barbicide.com\/shearhavendomesticviolencetraining\/\">offered through Barbicide<\/a>, an international disinfectant maker ubiquitous in salons and barbershops \u2014 and entails a 20-minute video presentation on the dynamics of intimate partner abuse, followed by a short quiz. Successful completion is awarded with a certificate.<\/p>\n<p>The bill had been stalled since last year over finances as lawmakers wanted the training to be free and virtual \u2014 and Post wouldn\u2019t figure out how to do that until the pandemic forced education online: \u201cWe hadn\u2019t embraced Zoom yet!\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
