West Virginia HB4667 amends the practice of barbering and cosmetology by clarifying that hair braiding, threading, blow-dry styling, and makeup application are not regulated by the West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists. It also establishes a salon training program, allowing licensed salons to employ trainees to cut and color hair. After completing 1,000 hours, trainees can sit for the hair styling exam. The board ensures low-cost and virtual training options are available, and salons must comply with facility, safety, and inspection requirements.
