GNBS HIGHLIGHTS CRUCIAL CODE OF PRACTICE FOR BEAUTY PROFESSIONALS Aug 25, 2024 Features / Columnists, GNBS, News Kaieteur News – Today’s growing emphasis on beauty and the use of beauty products is moving beyond self-application to the establishment of many businesses across our country which offer beautification services. Many persons are turning to establish these businesses for reasons including employment and a passion to make their clients look their best. Just recently, many professionals and beauty product providers participated in Curl Fete 2024, a major event celebrating natural hair, beauty and wellness. For the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS), it is timely to emphasise that standards are available for the beauty industry as well. One such standard is the GCP 6-1997 – Code of Practice for persons carrying out the business of beautifying and improving the skin, hair and nails. This Code of Practice provides comprehensive guidance for persons carrying out businesses related to cosmetology, hairdressing, barbering, shaving, manicure, pedicure, facial, body massaging and like crafts. The document prescribes the hygienic and precautionary measures that should be taken by beauty professionals to prevent transmission of any communicable diseases, and it covers conditions such as the certification of premises, licensing and registration of personnel, sanitation and sterilization of tools. Specifically, ensuring suitable locations, fitting furnishing, sanitary conditions and conformance to relevant building codes are crucial for the Certification of the Premises, while examination and certification of beauty professionals by a medical officer are required for the Licensing and Registration of Personnel. Meanwhile, to satisfy sanitation requirements, the document stipulates that the owner of premises shall be responsible for ensuring that the floor, walls, ceiling of the premises and all furniture are clean and free from hair, dust, dirt and other impurities. The Code requires that all scissors, clippers and other non-disposable cutting tools, hairbrushes, combs and rollers shall be sterilised immediately after use. Disposable razors or blades shall only be used per one customer and disposed of immediately thereafter. Given the growing interest in beauty and wellness, particularly highlighted by the recent Curl Fete event, GNBS is reminding practitioners of the critical role they play in safeguarding public health in the delivery of their services. The event, which primarily focused on natural hair care, provided a stage for numerous vendors, stylists and beauty professionals. It drew significant attention to the beauty industry, making it an opportune moment for the GNBS to reiterate the importance of maintaining standards in the industry. Whether dealing with hair, skin, or nails, professionals conforming to the Code of Practice can enhance their reputation, build client trust, and contribute to the overall improvement of the beauty industry in Guyana. The GNBS remains committed to supporting businesses in achieving conformance with standards, offering resources and guidance to help them maintain excellence in their services.

The victorious Guyanese were Keyon Britton, Colin Lewis, and Terron Wintz. Britton, who was unable to compete at the recently concluded Caribbean Schoolboys Championship owing to a lack of an opponent, defeated Aaron Cadogan of Barbados via decision in the 46-48 kg category. Lewis defeated Barbadian Peter Murray via first-round referee stoppage in their 60-63.5 kg lightweight encounter. Meanwhile, Wintz out-boxed Barbadian Jaheem Estwick in their 63.5-67 kg welterweight encounter. Guyana’s other two representatives, Shakquain James and world-rated light heavyweight pugilist Desmond Amsterdam, were slated to enter the squared circle last night. James was slated to compete against Estwick, while Amsterdam will pencil in to oppose Charles Cox of Barbados. Similarly, Lewis was slated to return to action against Maxime Alexandre of Martinique. The team is being supervised by Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) Technical Director Terrence Poole and coach Steel Crawford. Meanwhile, GBA President Steve Ninvalle said, “The fruits of our labor, essentially our continued success, are based on the developmental structures that have been employed by the association primarily at the nursery strata. We are elated at the team’s immediate success and envision and anticipate additional triumphs. This position is not one of arrogance but rather a posture and disposition rooted in expectation given our investment in the sport.” He further said, “The GBA will continue to provide avenues and opportunities, especially of the regional and international persuasion, to ensure the continued growth of our fighters, which will have a cascading influence on the local fraternity.” Related Similar Articles
