Summary

The Senate passed SB 183 to remove the requirement that natural hair stylists hold a license from the Alabama Board of Cosmetology and Barbering. People who provide natural hair styling for pay can now work without a state license, though they may still choose to obtain a voluntary license. The change also allows high‑school cosmetology students to earn a voluntary natural hairstylist license.
