Occupations: cosmetologists; skin care services that may be performed by an esthetician or cosmetologist; modify. Amends secs. 1201 & 1210 of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.1201 & 339.1210).

This bill modifies Michigan's occupational code to update definitions and licensing requirements for cosmetologists, estheticians, and natural hair culturists. It clarifies that "braiding" and "natural hair cultivation" are distinct services that do not involve chemical treatments, while "skin care services" include facials, waxing, and body treatments but exclude permanent makeup and tanning. The legislation also establishes new training hour requirements for estheticians, increasing the mandate from 400 to 750 hours for those starting training on or after July 1, 2024, and expands the definition of cosmetology establishments to include mobile salons and cosmetology suites.
