Professions and Occupations - As introduced, exempts a person whose occupation or practice is confined solely to makeup application services from the requirement to be licensed as a cosmetologist or aesthetician if the person meets the requirements to obtain a certificate to provide makeup application services. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 62, Chapter 3; Title 62, Chapter 38 and Title 62, Chapter 4.

HB 2468 exempts makeup artists who only provide makeup application services from needing a full cosmetology or aesthetician license, directly affecting independent makeup artists and beauty professionals in Tennessee. To comply, individuals must complete 8 hours of health/hygiene training, pay a $30 biennial registration fee, and display a notice clarifying they are not state-licensed. The bill prohibits them from using terms like "licensed cosmetologist" or offering services outside makeup application (e.g., eyelash extensions or permanent makeup) without additional certification. It amends Tennessee law to create this new registration pathway, effective July 1, 2026.
