If you mean "earlier in life" as " starting in middle school", then yes, they do.

That's not necessarily true. Many hair colleges don't really go over Black hair, so Black women are more likely to go to Black hair salons, where the hairdressers are well acquainted with their hair texture.
Many White and Asian hairdressers will not necessarily know how to style their hair texture without them already having straightened hair first.

I wouldn't be surprised.
There's also a really neat story about the diaspora of Vietnamese nail salon owners, most of whom got their start in California at a technical college taught in Vietnamese, and how they came to dominate the industry around the US.
California's rules and regulations still dominate how the practice and business is taught in all the other states as a result.

The military-spec ear plugs didn't work. Massive lawsuits. Much more to it, but that's the gist.

Reply to comment by aussmith000 in Neanderthals collected dozens of skulls of large mammals in a cave in central Spain, in what researchers say is a unique example of complex “symbolic” behaviour. Remnants of ancient bison and other large mammals might have been kept as hunting trophies. by the_phet
When these types of studies refer to symbolic or ritualistic behavior, they generally just mean, we don't know exactly what these were being collected for, but there most likely was a good reason.
However, they note that the rest of the practice was done elsewhere and the bones do show that teeth and other things were extracted before being brought into the caves.
"The scarcity of post-cranial elements, teeth, mandibles and maxillae, along with evidence of anthropogenic modification of the crania (cut and percussion marks), indicates that the carcasses of the corresponding animals were initially processed outside the cave, and the crania were later brought inside. A second round of processing then took place, possibly related to the removal of the brain. The continued presence of crania throughout Level 3 indicates that this behaviour was recurrent during this level’s formation. This behaviour seems to have no subsistence-related purpose but to be more symbolic in its intent."

In theory yeah, but in practice, most stylists work with clientele that has a similar hair texture, and thus same race. Even when I lived in a mostly white neighborhood, I still had to look for a black hair stylist, which meant traveling to a different town. Just think of it as, would you take advice for hair care from someone who has completely different hair than yours, will never use those products on themself, only worked on hair like yours a couple times in school, and hasn’t worked on hair curlier than beach waves since? If another black girl went to a white hairstlyist and vouched for them, then that’s a different story. It’s the same with makeup artists, tattoo artists, and dermatologists for me, you want to go to someone who you know has experience working on skin like yours.

Yeah I don't think I've ever had a set of acrylic nails put on by a nail tech who wasn't wearing a serious mask. I wonder if its legally required in California or something.

Stop trying to conform to European beauty standards. I guarantee that's a big part of the issue.

Different wavelength if you are using LED and perfectly safe.
Only bad if you use some outdated cfl thing…

Not necessarily. I have curly hair, not the same texture that someone who is black or hispanic, and I find that a lot of salons don't even have the right products (or stylists for that matter) for my white people curly hair.
While knowledge of proper treatment for curly hair has gotten better over the last decade, a lot of salons cut and treat hair as if it were straight hair. I have had HUGE issues with salons in the past with no one there knowing how to even deal with curly hair correctly.
If I were black or hispanic I would 100% go to a salon that specialized in that texture hair over a place that didn't.

people can become alleric to latex due to constant exposure which is why nitrile became a standard. Nail polish is a lacquer like car paint.

Ok but like, any race hairdresser can do the hair of any race customer.
I get that obviously there are parts of cities that have different ethnic makeups in different ratios, but surely a more accurate title would be "hairdressers working on Black or Hispanic hair" would be more accurate, due to the chemical used being unaffected by the person applying it, and moreso by the person it is being applied to.

What products is it? The hair relaxers or the keratin treatment?

Society will need to stop forcing European beauty standards first, especially hiring managers. I promise that the culture of using relaxers didn't pop out of a vacuum.
