The Board for Barbers and Cosmetology was created by merging the Board for Barbers and Board for Cosmetology, both originally established in 1962, through legislation signed by Governor Gilmore in April, 2000. The Board regulates businesses and individuals that cut and style hair and shaves; perform manicures, pedicures and apply nails. The Board also regulates those individuals who teach barbering, cosmetology and nail care as well as schools that provide training in barbering, cosmetology and nail care. The Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation provides administrative support to the board.
