What’s in it

AI summary Licensed cosmetologists and barbers could soon work in locations that are not traditional salons or barbershops. The new rules would allow them to provide services in movable locations, like mobile units, as long as they follow specific board guidelines. This change expands the definition of a salon to include these mobile settings.1
