Board of cosmetology requirements modified for cosmetologists and hair technicians relating to textured hair training.

HF 2692 modifies Minnesota's cosmetology licensing requirements to mandate specific training on textured hair for cosmetologists and hair technicians. The bill requires all training programs to include theoretical and practical instruction covering all hair types and textures - including coil, curl, wave patterns, strand thickness, and volume - throughout the 900-hour curriculum. This replaces prior requirements (repealing Laws 2024, chapter 120, article 3, section 2) and directly affects cosmetology schools, licensing boards, and professionals seeking or renewing licenses in Minnesota. The law ensures trainees gain demonstrated knowledge of procedures for diverse hair textures before practicing.
