A 1628 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows certain licensees of New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling to teach in private schools of cosmetology and hairstyling.

This bill allows licensed professionals in barbering, beauty culture, manicuring, hair braiding, or skin care to teach in private cosmetology and hairstyling schools, provided they meet general teacher requirements (excluding the need for a cosmetology license) and demonstrate their training equals or exceeds that required for a cosmetology license. Currently, only individuals with a cosmetology and hairstyling license could teach in these schools. The bill also adds a requirement that teachers must only instruct in services within the scope of their professional license. This change directly affects private cosmetology schools and expands the pool of potential instructors.
