CHAPTER 965
HOUSE BILL 2299

AN ACT TO ALLOW SHAMPOOING BY UNLICENSED SHAMPOOERS IN DUPLIN COUNTY.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 88-1 reads as rewritten:
"§ 88-1.  Practice of cosmetology regulated; permits for operation of cosmetic art shops. – On and after June 30, 1933, no person or combination of persons shall, for pay or reward, either directly or indirectly, practice or attempt to practice cosmetic art as hereinafter defined in the State of North Carolina without a certificate of registration, either as a registered apprentice or as a registered 'cosmetologist,' issued pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter by the State Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners hereinafter established and, except as provided in G.S. 88-7.1; the practice of cosmetic art shall not be performed outside of a licensed and regularly inspected beauty establishment.
The operator of a cosmetic art shop, beauty parlor or hairdressing establishment may employ unlicensed personnel to do shampooing only, where the shampooing is done under the supervision of a registered cosmetologist. As used in this paragraph, 'shampooing' includes only the application of shampoo to hair and the removal of the shampoo from the hair, and does not include any arranging, dressing, waving, marcelling or other treatment of hair. This paragraph does not apply to barbershops. This paragraph shall not apply to the following counties: Guilford, Jones, Lenoir, Mecklenburg, Onslow, Richmond, Sampson.
On and after February 1, 1976, any person, firm or corporation, before establishing or opening a cosmetic art shop not heretofore licensed by the State Board of Cosmetic Art, shall make application to the Board, on forms to be furnished by the Board, for a permit to operate a cosmetic art shop. The shop of such applicant shall be inspected and approved by the State Board of Cosmetic Art by an agent designated for such purpose by the Board before such cosmetic art shop shall be opened for business. It shall be unlawful to open a new cosmetic art shop for the practice of cosmetology until such shop has been inspected, as heretofore required, and determined by the Board to be in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Chapter. Upon the determination by the Board that the applicant has complied with the requirements of this Chapter, the Board shall issue to such applicant a permit to operate a cosmetic art shop. A fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) shall be paid to the Board for the inspection of a cosmetic art shop. Such fee must accompany the application for a permit to operate a cosmetic art shop at the time such application is filed with the Board.
All cosmetic art shops in operation as of February 1, 1976, shall be required to make application to the Board of Cosmetic Art, on forms supplied by the Board, for a permit to operate. The fee required for such permit shall be three dollars ($3.00) per active booth in said shop.
Thereafter, all permits shall be renewed as of the first day of February of each and every year, and the fee for annual renewal of cosmetic art shop permits shall be as set forth in G.S. 88-21. No permit or certificate shall be transferable from one location to another or from one owner to another at the same location. Each cosmetic art shop permit shall be conspicuously posted within such cosmetic art shop for which same is issued."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 24th day of June, 1988.
