Bill > HB684

This bill requires that schools of cosmetology, hair design, and barbering in Georgia must include "trichology training" in their curriculum, which is defined as instruction on the science of human hair, its structure, function, and diseases, including conditions like alopecia, and how to provide hair care services to those affected. Furthermore, teachers and instructors in these fields will need to complete 50 hours of trichology training to obtain or renew their teaching certifications, with exceptions for those already certified as of June 30, 2026, who will need to complete it before their next renewal. The bill also specifies that trichology training must be provided by institutions approved by the Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission or the board, and that the required trichology courses taught in schools must be at least 30 hours long.
