Summary
The bill expands New York’s cosmetology licensing law to cover natural hair styling, braiding, and related textured‑hair services. Only individuals with a state‑issued license—or a temporary three‑month allowance for out‑of‑state licensees—may provide these services for a fee. It also sets detailed definitions of what activities are included or excluded from the licensed practice.
