LAWS OF MARYLAND

The reference to "a licensed cosmetologist or a holder
of a limited license" is substituted for the former
reference to "a person duly authorized under this
subtitle to practice hairdressing and beauty culture",
which was overly broad since, e.g., students and
apprentices are authorized to practice cosmetology but
implicitly may not supervise.

Defined terms: "Beauty salon" § 5-101
"Beauty salon permit" § 5-101
"Licensed cosmetologist" § 5-101
"Limited license" § 5-101
"Practice cosmetology" § 5-101

BEAUTY SALON.

(1)  "BEAUTY SALON" MEANS ANY COMMERCIAL
ESTABLISHMENT, EXCEPT A BARBERSHOP, IN WHICH AN INDIVIDUAL
PRACTICES COSMETOLOGY.

(2)  "BEAUTY SALON" DOES NOT INCLUDE A CLINIC IN A
COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL THAT HOLDS A SCHOOL PERMIT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Paragraph (1) of this subsection is new
language derived without substantive change from
former Art. 56, § 479(e).

Paragraph (2) of this subsection is new language added
to clarify that there is a distinction between a
beauty salon and a clinic in a cosmetology school.

In paragraph (1) of this subsection, the word
"commercial" is added for clarity.

Also in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the
exception for a barbershop is added to reflect that an
individual may practice cosmetology in a beauty salon
or a barber shop. See §§ 4-508(c) and 5-605(a)(2) of
this article.

Also in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the term
"beauty salon" is substituted, as the defined term,
for the former term "beauty shop", to reflect current
usage in the industry.

Also in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the word
"establishment" is substituted for the former
reference to "any premises, building or part of
building" for brevity.

Defined terms: "Cosmetology school" § 5-101
"Practice cosmetology" § 5-101
