SF 2119: Relating to cosmetology and the practice of threading

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.
