Requires cosmetology licensees to disclose the price of cosmetology services at booking and prior to the start such services
Bill A 8976 requires cosmetology businesses (like salons and barbershops) to disclose the full price of services to customers at the time of booking and again before any service begins. This disclosure must include written or verbal details about the specific services to be performed and any relevant rules, such as cancellation policies. The law directly affects licensed cosmetology providers by mandating transparent pricing upfront to prevent unexpected charges. It takes effect 90 days after enactment.
