Barbering and cosmetology. cosmetology: nail care: superfluous hair removal.
The Barbering and Cosmetology Act provides for the licensure and regulation of barbers, cosmetologists, estheticians, manicurists, electrologists, and apprentices by the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, which is within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires a licensee, at the time of license renewal, to report certain information to the board, including whether he or she is an employee, an independent contractor, a booth renter, or a salon owner. defines nail care as the practice of cutting, trimming, polishing, coloring, tinting, cleansing, manicuring, or pedicuring the nails of any person or massaging, cleaning, or beautifying from the elbow to the fingertips or the knee to the toes. Existing
law requires an applicant for a license as a manicurist to meet certain criteria, including that he or she has completed a course in nail care from a school approved by the board.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions. additionally define nail care as removing superfluous hair from the lip, eyebrows, the elbow to fingertips, or knees to toes by the use of tweezers or waxing. The bill would authorize a licensee as a manicurist to remove superfluous hair only if he or she meets specified educational requirements. The bill would require the board to determine, by regulation, the required number of hours to be added to the existing manicuring curriculum that will allow sufficient training in the practice of superfluous hair removal and would require an
approved school to add the required number of training hours to the school’s curriculum for any course in manicuring by a specified date.
