Occupations: cosmetologists; shampoo services performed in a cosmetology establishment by certain cosmetology apprentices; allow. Amends sec. 1203a of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.1203a).

This bill allows certain cosmetology apprentices to perform shampoo services in cosmetology establishments. It amends existing legislation to clarify the roles of apprentices in providing these services. This change aims to enhance the training opportunities for apprentices in the cosmetology field.

Supporters of the bill argue that it provides valuable hands-on experience for cosmetology apprentices, helping them gain practical skills while they train. They believe this will benefit both the apprentices and the salons by allowing for a more efficient workflow and better service for clients.

Critics may argue that allowing apprentices to perform shampoo services could compromise the quality of care and service provided in salons. They might express concerns about the potential for inadequate training and supervision, which could affect customer satisfaction and safety in cosmetology establishments.
