Relating to the practice of barbering and cosmetology.

SB 101 amends Texas law to clarify the scope of barbering and cosmetology services. It defines these professions to include hair treatments (like cutting, coloring, and styling), facial care, nail services, and hair weaving, while explicitly excluding certain common practices. The bill specifically states that blow-dry styling (using only mechanical devices and topical products), threading, and wig servicing after initial sale are not considered barbering or cosmetology. This directly affects licensed barbering/cosmetology professionals, salons, and clients by defining which services require licensure versus those that do not. The bill aims to reduce confusion about professional boundaries in the industry.
