What it is and who needs it.
What the school bond actually covers
New Jersey's State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling, within the Division of Consumer Affairs, licenses the schools that train cosmetologists, barbers, and related practitioners. Before a school opens, the Board requires a surety bond as a condition of its license under N.J.S.A. 45:5B-32.
The bond is conditioned on the school's due and faithful performance of the cosmetology and hairstyling law (N.J.S.A. 45:5B-1 through 45:5B-41). In practice it stands behind students' prepaid tuition — if a school closes or fails to deliver the instruction students paid for, a harmed student can initiate an action on the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The Board sets the bond amount; enter that figure and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.
