Bill > SB1374

This bill modifies the Missouri cosmetology licensing law by creating a new license classification called "Class EA - esthetics and manicuring" which combines two existing cosmetology practices: manicuring (which includes nail care, hand and arm massage, and cleaning) and esthetician services (which involve skincare treatments for the face, neck, arms, and other body parts using cosmetic preparations, mechanical or electrical apparatuses, and hair removal techniques). The bill updates the definitions in the state's cosmetology regulations to include this new combined license class, and also specifies training requirements for individuals seeking this license. For apprentices pursuing the Class EA license, the total training hours would be two thousand three hundred hours, and for students in a licensed school, they would need to complete the combined hours required for both manicuring and esthetician training. This change provides cosmetology professionals with a more flexible licensing option that allows them to practice both nail care and skincare services under a single classification.
