Alabama Board of Cosmetology and Barbering; natural hair styling exempt from regulation
Became law
This already passed. Here's what you can still do.
1. Push for repeal or amendment
Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.
→ Write to your rep3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill changes the definition of "cosmetology" and removes the requirement for natural hairstylists to have a license from the Alabama Board of Cosmetology and Barbering. It allows people who meet the qualifications to voluntarily get a natural hairstylist license, including students in public high school cosmetology programs. This means natural hairstylists will no longer need a state license to work.
