Topless Barber Charged With Unlicensed Cosmetology In Longmont

LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) - A woman who allegedly offered topless hairstyling in northern Colorado faces criminal charges. Police say the problem is not cutting hair without a top, but cutting hair without a license.

The Times-Call reports that 46-year old Suzette Hall was arrested Wednesday night on suspicion of practicing cosmetology without a license. Hall's former partner says she advertised $45 topless haircuts online.

According to the arrest warrant, the former partner called police about the topless styling because she "did not believe this was safe or proper."

Police were unable to turn up any Craigslist ads, according to the warrant. Hall's ex-husband told police she set up shop in Loveland and offered services as "Rebel Barber." He told police she had applied for "a nude license for hairstylists," which does not exist.
