What is a Wisconsin Barbering and Cosmetology School or Specialty School Bond?

The Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services Division of Professional Credential Processing requires Barbering and Cosmetology Schools and other Specialty Schools to post a surety bond to be able to conduct business in the State.

 

Barbering and Cosmetology Schools provide a well-rounded education for both men and women who would like to specialize in beauty services, such as cutting and styling hair, nail technology, makeup artistry, and even skincare and aesthetics.

 

The Barbering and Cosmetology School or Specialty School Bond, which is a part of the license requirements, is designed to ensure that owners and operators of barbering, cosmetology, and specialty schools will adhere to all the state licensing laws.

 

The bond indemnifies the State Department if the school closes without completing the education paid for by the students.

 

What are the bond conditions?

  • The surety bond must be obtained from a surety bond company/provider that is licensed to issue bonds in the State of Wisconsin.
  • The bond must be submitted to the State Department of Safety and Professional Services– Division of Professional Credential Processing each year with the renewal application.
  • The Obligee, which is protected by the bond, reserves the right to indemnification if the Principal is found to violate the obligation specified in the bond form that causes financial damage or economic loss.
  • This obligation shall be continuous and remain in full force and effect; unless there is an occurrence to a right to indemnification by the Obligee, then the obligation shall be void.
  • The obligation in force shall not exceed the penal sum of the bond.
  • The bond may be canceled by the Surety by the giving of 90 days written notice to the Secretary of the Department of Safety and Professional Services of the State of Wisconsin.
