This bill adds a new class to the profession of cosmetology. "Class EA - esthetics and manicuring" includes all practices of manicurists and estheticians.
The bill allows the classified occupation of manicurist to be apprenticed in conjunction with the classified occupation of esthetician. The apprentice is required to successfully complete an apprenticeship of no less than a total of 2,300 hours.
When the applicant for the license is a student, the student must complete the required school hours in a licensed school for both occupations.
This bill specifies that, any cosmetologist holding a license to practice cosmetology, including hairdresser, manicurist, hairdressing and manicuring, and estheticians, may register with the State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners for a personal service registration to provide services to clients who are ill, disabled, or otherwise unable to travel to a cosmetology establishment. An applicant for a personal service registration must submit to the Board an application, the fee set by the Board, and a copy of the applicant's cosmetology license. An applicant for a personal service registration can be denied if the applicant has pled guilty or been found guilty of any of the offenses specified in the bill.
A personal service registrant must keep his or her information current and up to date with the Board and provide his or her clients a copy of the personal service registration and license upon request.
The Board will have the authority to:
(1) Inspect the tools, equipment, and implements of any personal service registrant one time each year to ensure that the registrant is following all sanitation standards;
(2) Inspect the tools, equipment, and implements of any personal service registrant if a customer or client submits a complaint to the Board about the registrant; and
(3) Revoke the personal service registration of a registrant and or discipline a registrant's license for any violation set forth in current law or for failure to follow the requirements of this bill.
This bill is similar to HB 86 (2025), HB 52 (2025), and HB 1434 (2024)
