How Does a Pennsylvania Beauty School Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, a barbering school bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the beauty school owner(s) filing the bond
- Obligee: The State Board of Barber Examiners requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of 49 PA Code 3.83.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your barbering school bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
