Alabama Board of Cosmetology and Barbering; make up application and blow-dry styling exempt from regulation

SB 274 removes makeup application and blow-dry styling services from the licensing requirements of Alabama's Board of Cosmetology and Barbering. Specifically, it amends state code to define "makeup application" (including airbrushing) and "blow-dry styling" (cleansing, drying, or arranging hair without cutting or chemicals) as exempt practices. This means individuals offering these services no longer need a cosmetology license to operate, directly affecting independent makeup artists, beauty stylists, and small businesses providing these specific services. The bill updates existing definitions in the code to reflect these exemptions without changing other regulated cosmetology practices.
