An Act amending the act of May 3, 1933 (P.L.242, No.86), referred to as the Cosmetology Law, further providing for definitions and for to whom provisions in the act shall not apply.
SB 892 amends Pennsylvania's Cosmetology Law to create clear definitions for specific beauty services and establish licensing exemptions. It defines "blow-dry styling," "braiding," "eyelash extension," "makeup application," and "threading" as distinct from traditional cosmetology, explicitly excluding activities like hair coloring or cutting. The bill exempts individuals offering only these defined services from cosmetology licensing requirements, and facilities providing exclusively these services are exempt from salon licensing. However, these exempt providers cannot combine these services with licensed cosmetology work in the same setting. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
