Bill Summary
Amending the act of May 3, 1933 (P.L.242, No.86), entitled "An act to promote the public health and safety by providing for examination, licensing and granting of permits for those who desire to engage in the profession of cosmetology; defining cosmetology, and regulating cosmetology salons, schools, students, apprentices, teachers, managers, manicurists and cosmetologists; conferring powers and duties upon the Commissioner of Professional and Occupational Affairs of the Department of State; providing for appeals to certain courts by applicants and licensees; and providing penalties," further providing for definitions.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Cosmetology Law by updating the definition of "esthetics" in the existing law. Specifically, the bill adds "blade" as an additional method for removing superfluous hair, alongside the previously recognized methods of tweezers, depilatories, and waxes. The definition of esthetics remains otherwise unchanged, continuing to describe it as a practice involving facial massage, applying various cosmetic preparations and treatments (such as antiseptics, tonics, lotions, and creams), removing unwanted hair, and dyeing eyelashes and eyebrows. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, providing a standard transition period for professionals and businesses in the cosmetology industry to become familiar with the updated language. This modification appears to be a technical clarification that broadens the acceptable methods of hair removal within the professional esthetics practice.
