Bill > HB433

This bill, the Provider of Boutique Services Opportunity Act, amends various sections of the Ohio Revised Code to enact new provisions regarding natural hair stylists and boutique salon registrants. The key changes include: - Defining "boutique services" as braiding, threading, shampooing, blow-dry styling, makeup artistry, eyelash extension services, and wig styling and application. - Establishing a boutique salon registration that allows individuals to engage in the practice of boutique services without the need for a cosmetology license. - Exempting individuals who only provide boutique services from the requirement to obtain a cosmetology license. - Eliminating the natural hair stylist, advanced natural hair stylist, and natural hair style instructor licenses and phasing out those licenses over time. - Requiring the State Cosmetology and Barber Board to maintain a registry of boutique salons and only inspect them under certain conditions. Overall, the bill aims to provide more opportunities for individuals to practice boutique services without the full cosmetology licensing requirements.
