HB 1630 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to cosmetology

HB 1630 clarifies licensing requirements and definitions for cosmetology professionals in the state. It specifies detailed training hours for different roles: 3,000 hours for cosmetologists, 800 hours for manicurists, and 1,500 hours for esthetician students in licensed schools. The bill also defines key terms like "hair braider," "placebound client," and "cross-over license" to standardize practice categories. These changes directly affect cosmetology schools, licensed practitioners, and apprentices seeking certification under the state's cosmetology board regulations.
