Summary
SB 274 changes state law so that makeup application and blow‑dry hair styling are no longer considered regulated cosmetology services. By redefining these activities and taking them out of the esthetics definition, providers won’t need a cosmetology or barbering license to offer them. The change aims to reduce licensing barriers for beauty professionals.
