Alabama Board of Cosmetology and Barbering, makeup artist license and lash/brow artist permit qualifications provided, exemptions

HB 404 would require the Alabama Board of Cosmetology and Barbering to license makeup artists and permit lash/brow artists, who are currently unregulated under state law. The bill establishes specific qualifications for these new licenses, includes exemptions for certain practices, and allows mobile studios to operate. It directly affects professionals providing makeup application (e.g., bridal, theatrical) and lash/brow services (e.g., extensions, tinting), requiring them to meet board-set standards. The bill adds new sections to Alabama law to formalize these requirements under the existing regulatory board.
