Applicants could seek electrologist licenses without other beauty licenses

People could apply for an electrologist license without already holding a cosmetology or skin care license. This applies to people applying for an Indiana electrologist license. This application rule would take effect July 1, 2027.

An electrologist license application would have to show 600 hours of education and experience, a passing exam, no conduct that could lead to discipline, and payment of the license fee. This applies to people applying for an electrologist license. The application requirements would take effect July 1, 2027.

The state board would amend its rules to allow electrology and esthetics services in the same room at different times and to require 600 combined hours for electrology training. These rules concern electrology and esthetics services and electrology training in a beauty culture school. Electrology and esthetics services could not take place in that room at the same time. The board would have to amend the rules by June 30, 2027. This section would take effect July 1, 2026, and expire July 1, 2028.
