Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring appearance enhancement business and cosmetology licensees and trainees to disclose the price of cosmetology services

AI Summary

This bill requires appearance enhancement businesses, which are places that offer services like haircuts, styling, and makeup, and their licensed professionals and trainees to clearly disclose the prices of cosmetology services. This disclosure must happen verbally when booking an appointment, before services begin, if the services change, and before payment is accepted, including any potential additional charges. Additionally, these businesses must prominently display a list of their basic service prices, factors that could increase the cost, and the range of possible additional charges at all booking locations, payment counters, and desks where orders are placed. A "disclosure" is defined as providing written or verbal information about the services and any related rules, and a verbal description of services before they are performed. Violating these requirements will result in a civil penalty of $500 for each offense.
