Barbers and barbering

Introduced·5/13/26
Introduced Text

Barbers in South Carolina can now choose to be licensed or unlicensed, but only licensed barbers can train students.

This bill amends South Carolina's barbering regulations to make licensure voluntary. It allows individuals to practice barbering without a license but mandates that only licensed barbers can train students in barber schools. The bill also updates definitions and repeals certain licensing requirements, while maintaining barbershop registration and inspection standards. It takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
