Intr Text

Establishes a salon training program in West Virginia to allow licensed salons to employ trainees for hair services.

The bill creates a salon training program in West Virginia, allowing licensed salons to employ trainees for hair services. Trainees can cut and color hair and, after 600 hours of training, sit for the hair styling exam. The board ensures low-cost and virtual training options are available. Salons must comply with facility, safety, and licensing requirements. The board can inspect and investigate salons for compliance. Hair braiding, threading, blow-dry styling, and makeup application are not regulated by the West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists.
