Wyoming Board of Cosmetology Meeting Minutes
The Board of Cosmetology meeting included discussions on licensing and financial reports, as well as new policy determinations, such as banning foam perm rods and requiring separate licenses for adjacent, non-connected salon suites. The board addressed ongoing issues with the database service provider and potential strategies for future database management. A significant portion of the meeting was held jointly with the Board of Barbers to discuss the potential future merger of the two boards, including considerations regarding legislative processes, the impact on licensee representation, potential regulatory improvements such as online instructor programs, and the timeline for rule-making should a merger be approved.
