NEWARK, N.J., April 15 (UPI) -- A ban on genital waxing scheduled to take effect April 25 in New Jersey is undergoing revision and shouldn't be enforced, a state official says.

Consumer Affairs Director David Szuchman directed the state Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling "to begin an immediate review of the training necessary to safely provide this service," the Philadelphia Daily News reported Wednesday.

The panel Tuesday resumed discussions on the procedure aimed at establishing appropriate protocols and safeguards.

Szuchman has recommended the state refrain from enforcing the ban until the board has completed its work.

"Even if inspectors are not enforcing the ban, it poses a significant risk to salon and spa owners because their insurance carrier is not going to cover them," Rosemary Weiner, chairwoman of the Association of Salon and Spa Professionals in New Jersey, told the Daily News.
