HF 2480: Relating to cosmetology and the practice of threading

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on May 24, 2022. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to the practice of cosmetology (Code chapter 157). The bill allows a person to engage in the practice of threading, defined as the removal of hairs from the eyebrows, upper lip, or other body parts by the use of a thread, without obtaining a license to practice cosmetology. The bill also allows a person to engage in the practice of threading at a location that is not licensed as a salon. The bill removes threading from the definitions of “cosmetology” and “esthetics” in the Code chapter.
