What’s in it
AI summary People who want to perform hair threading on eyebrows, lips, or other body parts will no longer need a cosmetology license to do so. This change also allows threading to be done in locations that are not licensed salons. Threading is no longer officially classified as part of cosmetology or esthetics under state law.1
Read the official explanation
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.
