Bill > HB930

This bill amends and reenacts several sections of Louisiana's cosmetology laws. The key provisions are: 1. It defines "hair design" as the practice of arranging, dressing, cutting, trimming, styling, shampooing, permanent waving, chemical relaxing, straightening, curling, bleaching, lightening, coloring, mustache and beard design, and superficial skin stimulation of the scalp, and defines "hair designer" as a person licensed to engage in the practice of hair design. 2. It requires the Louisiana State Board of Cosmetology to create and maintain a website that allows applicants to apply, pay fees, and check the status of their cosmetology licensure. 3. It establishes the requirements for obtaining a certificate as a registered hair designer, including completing and passing a hair designing course at a registered or licensed school of cosmetology. 4. It updates the examination requirements for cosmetologists, hair designers, estheticians, and manicurists, requiring them to pass the national interstate council of state boards of cosmetology (NIC) written and practical examinations. 5. It outlines the requirements for cosmetology schools to offer a 1,000-hour course of practical training and technical instruction in hair design leading to a hair design certificate.
