The Korean American Nail Association of New Jersey initiated a petition campaign in support of a Korean language nail salon licensing exam in the state of New Jersey. To direct the campaign, the association set up a 300-square-foot office on April 3 in Palisades Park near Route 5.
For the past several years, the association has demanded the state regulatory agency introduce a Korean language exam. To push the measure more effectively, the association initiated the petition.
First, we will try to collect 2,000 signatures from our 1,200 strong member stores, Association President Steve Ryu said.
The state permits Korean language licensing instruction and training. I dont understand why it does not allow a Korean language exam, said Ryu.
Ryu pointed out that the regulatory agency had toughened up licensing eligibility standards. For example, it increased the mandatory instruction time to 300 hours from 200 hours.
Ryu also said that the association would try to convince the regulatory agency to change its enforcement approach. The agency focuses on issuing fines, said Ryu, when it should be education- or information-oriented.
To increase effectiveness, the association will hire a staffperson to direct its petition drive and visit local politicians offices.
On May 5, the association, with sponsorship from Nail Supplier High Fashion, plans to have a seminar on new nail products and techniques.
