Relating to certain prohibited practices by a barber or cosmetologist.

SB 378 prohibits licensed barbers and cosmetologists in Texas from making skin incisions (such as for injections) or using certain devices during their services, except when they hold a separate license for that specific medical act. The bill requires license holders to prove they are authorized to perform such acts in disciplinary cases. It would have taken effect September 1, 2025, but was vetoed by the Governor on June 2, 2025, so it never became law. This bill directly affected licensed professionals providing hair, skin, or cosmetic services under Texas law.
