What it is and who needs it.
What the cosmetic art school bond covers
North Carolina licenses private cosmetic art schools — the schools that train future cosmetologists, estheticians, manicurists, and natural hair stylists — through the Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners under Chapter 88B. G.S. 88B-17 conditions the license of a private school on a guaranty bond.
The bond protects students’ prepaid tuition: if the school closes or fails to deliver instruction students paid for, the bond stands behind refunds for the services bought but not received. It is filed for the benefit of the State and the harmed students.
The required amount is equal to the maximum prepaid tuition the school held at any time during the prior fiscal year, with a $10,000 statutory minimum. The bond continues year to year with a continuation certificate, and a surety that wishes to terminate must give 30 days’ notice to the school and the Board. Enter the figure that applies — pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
