How often must a Washington barber renew their license?

In Washington, barbers must renew their licenses every two years to maintain their professional standing. This renewal process is designed to ensure that barbers continue to meet the necessary standards of practice and keep up with any updated regulations, health and safety practices, and continuing education requirements in the field. Regular renewal helps maintain public confidence in the profession by ensuring that licensed barbers are up-to-date with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide safe and effective services. By having a two-year renewal period, it strikes a balance between ensuring competency and not burdening professionals with excessively frequent renewals.
