Cosmetology Act
Arkansas · Professions, Occupations, and Businesses · §§ 17-26-101 to 17-26-505 · 62 sections
Overview
The Cosmetology Act regulates the practice of cosmetology and the related personal-appearance trades of nail technology and esthetics, defining the acts that constitute each practice and identifying persons and activities that fall outside its reach, including natural hair braiding. It conditions practice on holding a license or permit, which applicants obtain by showing qualifications and passing an examination, and it provides for licensure by reciprocity, temporary permits for practitioners licensed in other jurisdictions, annual expiration and renewal, reinstatement of lapsed licenses, continuing education, and fees capped at statutory maximums. Administration rests with a cosmetology commission authorized to promulgate rules, license instructors and the schools and branch schools that train practitioners, and inspect salons and schools to enforce the chapter.
