Occupations: cosmetologists; shampoo services performed in a cosmetology establishment by certain cosmetology apprentices; allow. Amends sec. 1203a of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.1203a).
HB 4908 allows cosmetology apprentices to perform shampoo services (preparing for shampoo, shampooing, or blow-drying) in licensed establishments without a full cosmetology license. To qualify, apprentices must complete 350 hours of training in a cosmetology curriculum and be enrolled in an apprenticeship program run by a licensed establishment owner. The bill requires establishments to verify apprentices' eligibility with a school letter on file, maintain records for 3 years, and have a licensed cosmetologist present during services. It does not permit apprentices to perform other cosmetology services beyond shampooing.
