State Board of Cosmetologists - Licensing - Eyelash Extensions

SB 617 creates a new limited license category for eyelash extension services under Maryland's cosmetology licensing system. It updates definitions in state law to explicitly include "providing eyelash extension services" in the scope of both "practice cosmetology" (Section 5-101(n)(v)) and "provide esthetic services" (Section 5-101(o)(iii)). This allows the State Board of Cosmetologists to issue a specific limited license for eyelash extensions, covering services like applying primers, adhesives, extensions, and sealants. The bill directly affects cosmetologists and technicians seeking to legally offer eyelash extensions in Maryland.
