The State Board of Cosmetology in Harrisburg, PA is responsible for regulating and licensing estheticians, nail technicians, cosmetologists, and cosmetology teachers, as well as overseeing cosmetology salons and schools in Pennsylvania. They enforce regulations for the examination and licensure of applicants, prescribe disinfection standards, and issue licenses for specific cosmetology practices. The board recently approved a consent agreement regarding the practice of microblading, clarifying that it falls outside the scope of cosmetology and is prohibited within cosmetology salons.
If your cosmetology license has expired for less than 5 years, you can reactivate it through the Pennsylvania Licensing System (PALS) website. However, if it has been expired for more than 5 years, you will need to retake the examination. The board cannot provide legal advice or interpretations of the Cosmetology Act and regulations, so it is recommended to consult an attorney for any legal matters related to cosmetology.
