Barbering and Cosmetology Regulations [18 VAC 41 ‑ 20]
Action:
Cosmetology Compact Amendment
Action 6687
 
General Information
Action Summary The amendments to the Barbering and Cosmetology Regulations are adopted as necessary for participation by Virginia in the Cosmetology Compact which allows a cosmetologist who has obtained a multistate license through the Compact Commission the privilege to practice in the Commonwealth without a Virginia license. To comply with Compact rules, all applicants for licensure are required to have criminal history checks, and holders of a multistate license are required to adhere to the laws and regulations governing practice in the compact state in which they practice. A member state may set a fee that is charged to obtain and renew a multistate license in that state. An amendment will set the fee in Virginia at $50, which is similar to the fee charged by other states.
