(1) The provisions of this rule are applicable to applicants for a crossover license to practice as a barber that currently hold an active Missouri cosmetology license issued by this board. A licensed Missouri cosmetologist may only apply for a barber license under this rule if the applicant's Missouri cosmetology license is active, in good standing and not subject to any disciplinary terms. Missouri cosmetologists who are not eligible for licensure under this rule shall comply with the requirements of 20 CSR 2085-13.020 and 20 CSR 2085-13.030 to be eligible for a crossover license to practice as a barber.
(2) Esthetician and Manicuring Licenses. Any person currently licensed as a Class-E or Class-MO cosmetologist by the board may apply for a crossover license to also practice as a barber. Currently licensed cosmetology applicants shall be subject to, and must comply with, all application, education, training, examination and licensure requirements for a barber license.
(3) Class-CH and Class-CA Licensees. Applicants that are licensed by this board as a Class-CH or Class-CA cosmetologist prior to applying for a crossover barber license shall be credited by the board for their previous cosmetologist barber experience and/or training as provided by this rule.
(A) Education. To be eligible for licensure, a Missouri licensed cosmetologist shall complete a minimum of forty-five (45)-hours of barber training, in the following subjects:

(B) Upon successful completion of the barber training required by this rule, a licensed Class-CH or Class-CA cosmetologist will be credited for the licensee's previous cosmetology experience and/or education and shall be eligible to take the state barber examination.
(C) Any Class-CH or Class-CA cosmetologist that has been licensed by this board as a cosmetologist for less than one (1) year, shall be required to take and successfully pass the written and practical portion of the state barber examination. A cosmetologist who has been actively licensed by this board as a Class-CH or Class-CA cosmetologist for at least one (1) year immediately prior to applying for a crossover barber license shall only be required to pass that portion of the state barber examination that is applicable to shaving, provided that the applicant's Missouri cosmetology license must have been active, in good standing and not subject to any probationary terms or disciplinary action during the one (1) year licensing period.
(4) Apprenticeships. A Missouri licensed cosmetologist may apply for a barber apprenticeship training program to qualify for a crossover barber license. Apprentice applicants shall be subject to and must comply with all rules applicable to barber apprentices, including 20 CSR 2085-9.010(1) and (2). Applicants shall not be required to resubmit with their applications for an apprenticeship proof of age, proof of successful completion of the tenth grade or two (2) character references, unless otherwise requested by the board.
(A) Applicants for an apprenticeship shall complete all barber apprentice hours required by Missouri law, provided that currently licensed Class-CA or Class-CH cosmetologists shall only be required to complete a minimum of ninety (90) apprentice barber training hours for a barber license.
(B) An apprenticeship training program must be supervised by a licensed barber approved by this board as a barber apprentice supervisor. The board will not recognize, and no apprentice supervisor shall certify, report or recognize, any training time or hours during which an apprentice for a crossover barber license acted or practiced solely as a licensed cosmetologist.
(5) A licensed cosmetologist whose license is expired or is not active may not apply for a crossover license pursuant to this rule.
