This bill updates Kentucky's cosmetology law to officially recognize mobile beauty, esthetic, nail, and limited salons alongside traditional fixed-location salons. It requires the state cosmetology board to set standards and inspection schedules for both mobile and fixed salons, and directs the board to balance the interests of licensed professionals and the public when writing those rules. Who it may affect: licensed cosmetologists, estheticians, and nail technicians who operate or work in mobile salons, as well as their clients.
