Alabama Board of Cosmetology and Barbering, makeup artist license and lash/brow artist permit qualifications provided, exemptions

HB 47 would require the Alabama Board of Cosmetology and Barbering to license makeup artists and permit lash/brow artists, expanding the board's regulatory scope. It establishes specific qualifications for both professions, including training requirements, and creates exemptions for certain services. The bill also authorizes mobile beauty studios to operate under the board's rules and defines key terms like "makeup application" (excluding microblading) and "lash/brow application" (excluding microblading). This bill directly affects current and future makeup artists, lash/brow artists, and mobile beauty businesses operating in Alabama. The bill is pending committee review in the Alabama House of Representatives.
