Association seeks court order to ensure its standards are met
The Cosmetologists Association of British Columbia wants a court order to force a Vancouver hairdresser to hang up his scissors until he passes the association’s exam.
Kwok Lung Vong has failed that exam six times. Nevertheless, he was working at a Vancouver salon, where his 1999 hairdressing certificate was proudly displayed. An inspector from the association examined the certificate and alleges it’s a fake. So is a 2000 certificate Vong later produced.
The association has applied to the B.C. Supreme Court for an injunction to stop Vong from working as a hairdresser until he passes the written exam.
