Hawaii SB1621 creates a separate nail technician license and corresponding requirements, distinct from cosmetology licenses.

Hawaii SB1621 aims to establish a specific nail technician license and licensing requirements separate from general cosmetology licenses. This change is intended to eliminate the need for nail technicians to acquire irrelevant skills. The bill mandates the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs to adopt rules for a distinct nail technician license and tailored licensing requirements. It also specifies education and training prerequisites for nail technician applicants, including high school completion and either 700 hours of apprenticeship or 350 hours of beauty school training.
