Establishes licensure for cosmetic retail services.
This bill establishes a new "limited cosmetic retail service license" for retail stores that primarily sell skincare, hair care, makeup, and cosmetic products while offering related services. It requires these establishments to be at least 750 square feet in size, with specific facility requirements including proper sanitation areas and one workstation per 750 square feet of space. The license allows stores to provide services like applying makeup, facial treatments, and hair removal (using depilatories, waxing, or tweezers) that are currently restricted to licensed skin care specialists. This change simplifies licensing requirements compared to current salon standards, which require separate space allocations for customer chairs. The bill directly affects cosmetic retailers and licensed skin care specialists seeking to provide services within retail environments.
