A 8266 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Limits the sale of chemical hair relaxers and permanent hairstyle kits

Bill A 8266 proposes to limit the retail sale of chemical hair relaxers and permanent hairstyle kits in New York. Under this bill, businesses selling cosmetology products would only be permitted to sell these specific items to individuals licensed in the practice of cosmetology. This means that only trained professionals would be able to purchase products designed to chemically alter hair structure for retail sale.
