HB 61 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of May 3, 1933 (P.L.242, No.86), referred to as the Cosmetology Law, further providing for definitions.

HB 61 amends Pennsylvania's Cosmetology Law by updating the official definition of "esthetics" in Section 1. The revised definition specifies that esthetics includes facial massage, applying cosmetic products, removing facial hair (via tweezers, blades, depilatories, or wax), and dyeing eyelashes or eyebrows. This change directly affects licensed estheticians and cosmetology professionals who perform these services, clarifying the scope of their regulated practice under state law. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
