Ohio Officials: Church Must Get Barber LicenseCOLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio's state Barber Board has threatened to shut down a church program in Columbus that gives kids free haircuts and is designed to keep boys away from gangs and drugs. The summer program at Word Church of God in Christ also provides children with a free lunch. Board Director Howard Warner says barbers and barbershops must be licensed to ensure proper sanitation and to keep away head lice, fungus and scalp diseases. The Reverend Eddie Parker says an associate pastor acts as the barber, as well as a mentor for neighborhood children. He says the haircuts will continue while the church works to get licensed.
