A bill for an act relating to the practice of barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences, including schools of barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences and a combined course of study for the practice of esthetics and nail technology.

This bill, SF 551, relates to the practice and schooling of barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences. It allows instructors at barbering and cosmetology schools to perform services for compensation at the school when they are not instructing students. The bill also exempts licensed schools from needing a separate establishment license, even when services are performed by students or licensees. Additionally, it permits the board to approve a combined course of study for students seeking both esthetics and nail technology licenses, though students must fully complete the requirements for either individual license to be eligible for it.
