Rep. Jan Tankersley introduced a bill that will become law July 1 to streamline how barbers and cosmetologists are regulated in Georgia. House Bill 314 merges the Georgia State Board of Barbers with the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology, which regulates cosmetologists who may work as manicurists and provide skin care services, in addition to styling hair. Until now, these boards have had separate rules and procedures, but both were hosted by the Secretary of State's Office.
