Can an unlicensed person cut hair, at no charge, in Pennsylvania?

I work in a nursing home and some of the male residents are unable to get out of bed to go to the in house barber shop that does have a licensed barber. He is unable to go room to room b/c he is only there 2 hours once a week. Someone thinks that the nurses can be cutting the men's hair (there would be no charge) but I am under the impression that this is not legal.

It is not illegal. And it is a lot kinder than hauling them to the house barber in a wheel chair.

no i don't think so.

I think so..its called care or volunteer services..now charging money...I don't know...maybe donations. My grandfather did it for years for old people and vets.

I don't see why that would be illegal...I mean, if the men are well aware that the nurses are unlicensed but they still consent to them trimming their hair, what's the worry?

I don't see why one of the nurses couldn't cut the hair. Especially if she is not charging. My roommate in college used to cut people's hair in our dorm, and she was definitely not licensed. My mom works in a nursing home and I am pretty sure that one of the nurse's aides cuts people's hair if they can't get to the beautician/barber. The residents shouldn't have to go without haircuts just because they are not able to get out of bed.

I don't think you need any special license to cut someone's hair. It's not like being a doctor or anything.
