Idaho’s House of Representatives voted 68 to 0 last Friday to send S 1324 to Governor Butch Otter (R). As previously reported, the bill to combine Idaho’s Barber Examiners and Cosmetology Boards would reduce the hours of instruction for the following licenses: cosmetology from 2,000 to 1,600, barber-stylist from 1,800 to 1,500, and electrology from 800 to 600 hours.
In Kentucky, the House voted 86 to 1 last week to send a bipartisan bill establishing a 450 hour blow drying services license to Governor Matt Bevin (R). SB 106 defines "blow drying services" to include any of the following services performed on an individual's hair: arranging, cleaning, curling, dressing, blow drying, and performing any other similar procedure. The measure also provides for the licensure of “limited beauty salons” that provide only “blow drying services.”
