Bill > A4331

This bill establishes a new "limited cosmetic retail service license" for establishments whose primary business is selling skincare, hair care, makeup, and cosmetic products and that also offer specific cosmetic services to consumers. These services, defined as "cosmetic retail services," are limited to applying makeup, massaging or cleansing the face and neck, and removing facial or neck hair using depilatories or tweezers, all performed by a licensed skin care specialist. The bill amends existing law to require these establishments to be licensed by the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling (the "board"), which oversees licensed shops and schools for cosmetology and hairstyling services. It also clarifies that these cosmetic retail service establishments must meet certain physical requirements, such as having a minimum of 750 square feet of floor space and specific sanitation facilities, and can have up to four workstations for these limited services. The bill also makes it unlawful for licensees to provide services beyond those defined as cosmetic retail services within these establishments, and vice versa, ensuring a clear distinction between these new licenses and existing cosmetology and hairstyling licenses.
