Public Comment Deadline: July 16, 2025.
Effective Date: August 1, 2025.
Agency Contact: Kelley Smith, Executive Director, Board for Barbers and Cosmetology, 9960 Mayland Drive, Suite 400, Richmond, VA 23233, telephone (804) 367-8590, FAX (866) 245-9693, or email barbercosmo@dpor.virginia.gov.
Basis: Section 54.1-201 of the Code of Virginia authorizes the Board for Barbers and Cosmetology to levy and collect fees for certification or licensure and renewal that are sufficient to cover all expenses for the administration and operation of the regulatory board and a proportionate share of the expenses of the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) and the Board for Professional and Occupational Regulation.
Purpose: The goal of this action is to adjust the board's fees in order to avoid delays in the licensing process, which would inhibit the department's ability to ensure that barbering, cosmetology, nail, waxing, tattooing, body-piercing, and esthetics services are performed in a manner that protects the public health, safety, and welfare of the Commonwealth.
Rationale for Using Fast-Track Rulemaking Process: This action is expected to be noncontroversial because fee adjustments for regulatory boards of the DPOR seldom receive negative comment from the regulated community or the public.
Substance: The amendments update fee schedules based on projected revenues and expenses that meet the requirements of the applicable statutes while being the least burdensome to the licensee population.
Issues: The primary advantages of the amendments to the public and the Commonwealth are (i) continuation of licensing services without delays and (ii) maintained public protection, since the fees will enable DPOR to ensure that barbering, cosmetology, nail, waxing, tattooing, body-piercing and esthetics services are performed in a manner that protects the public health, safety, and welfare of citizens. There are no disadvantages to the public or the Commonwealth in adjusting the board's fees.
Department of Planning and Budget Economic Impact Analysis:
The Department of Planning and Budget (DPB) has analyzed the economic impact of this proposed regulation in accordance with § 2.2-4007.04 of the Code of Virginia and Executive Order 19. The analysis presented represents DPB's best estimate of the potential economic impacts as of the date of this analysis.1
Summary of the Proposed Amendments to Regulation. The Board for Barbers and Cosmetology (board) proposes to increase fees (for licensure, renewal, and reinstatement) paid by barbers, master barbers, cosmetologists, nail technicians, wax technicians, tattooers, body piercers, estheticians, instructors in these professions, the facilities where these professionals work, and professional schools.
Background. § 54.1-201 A 4 of the Code of Virginia imposes a duty on professional boards to levy and collect fees for certification or licensure and renewal that are sufficient to cover all expenses for the administration and operation of the regulatory board and a proportional share of the expenses of the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR). In addition, § 54.1-113 of the Code of Virginia, known as the Callahan Act, requires DPOR boards to distribute excess revenue to current regulants and reduce the fees when unspent and unencumbered revenue exceeds $100,000 or 20 percent of the total expenses allocated to the regulatory board for the past biennium, whichever is greater.2 Because this action would increase fees, the Callahan Act does not appear to be directly invoked. Lastly, the Appropriation Act was amended in 2019 to require DPOR to hold funds in reserve to offset the anticipated, future costs of restructuring its organization, including additional staffing needs and the replacement or upgrade of the Department's information technology systems requirements. The most recent version of this language appears in Item 353 of the 2024 Appropriation Act.3 Data provided by DPOR indicates that this board had a cash balance of approximately $6.8 million at the beginning of fiscal year (FY) 2019, but that total expenditures have exceeded total revenues in each biennium since then, leading to a cash balance of $5.5 million at the beginning of fiscal year 2025. DPOR reports that the board's costs have increased by 26% in the last five years and by 47% since the last fee change in 2011; they report that staffing, facility, and information technology related costs have been the primary drivers of these increases. The proposed fee increases, summarized in the table below, are expected to increase the board's revenues by $692,104 in fiscal year 2026. It would also increase the board's projected revenue by roughly $1.4 million per biennium thereafter. The proposed fee changes are identical for individuals, instructors, facilities, and schools in all four regulations: 18VAC41-20-140 applies to barbers, master barbers, cosmetologists, nail technicians, and wax technicians; 18VAC41-50-130 applies to tattooers; 18VAC41-60-90 applies to body piercers; and 18VAC41-70-120 applies to estheticians. The only exception, as noted below, is for body-piercing, which exclusively utilizes an apprenticeship model instead of having schools and instructors.4

In addition to changing the fees, the board proposes to strike obsolete language regarding temporary fee reductions.
Estimated Benefits and Costs. With the current fee structure, the board's FY 2026 expenses are expected to exceed revenues by $223,706, resulting in an operating loss of $510,214 for the 2025-2026 biennium. Under the proposed fees, which are expected to become effective starting FY 2026, the projected revenues would exceed expenses by $468,398 in FY 2026, resulting in a net gain of $181,890 for the 2025-2026 biennium. Increased board revenues would contribute towards allowing DPOR to continue to meet the agency's operating costs without needing General Fund allocations. However, the proposed changes would increase fees for the professionals and entities that are currently licensed or certified by the board, as well as for those that seek to become licensed or certified in the future.
Businesses and Other Entities Affected. The proposed fee increases would affect firms and individuals who are currently licensed or certified by the board, as well as for those that seek to become licensed or certified in the future. DPOR reports that as of May 1, 2025, there are 724 barbers, 45 barber instructors, 1,889 master barbers, 317 master barber instructors, 775 barber shops, 61 barber schools, 193 body piercers, 121 body piercing salons, 388 body piercers ear only, 107 body piercing ear only salons, 39,858 cosmetologists, 4,673 cosmetology salons, 2,411 cosmetology instructors, 136 cosmetology schools, 5,453 estheticians, 132 esthetics instructors, 73 esthetics schools, 2,380 master estheticians, 333 master esthetics instructors, 977 esthetic spas, 9,654 nail technicians, 311 nail technician instructors, 750 nail technician salons, 51 nail technician schools, 1,144 tattooers, 838 guest tattooers, 363 tattoo parlors, 37 event tattoo parlors, 22 tattoo instructors, 10 tattoo schools, 1,175 permanent cosmetic tattooers, 255 permanent cosmetic tattoo salons, 32 master permanent cosmetic tattooers, 75 permanent cosmetic tattoo instructors, 31 permanent cosmetic tattoo schools, 1,506 wax technicians, 42 wax technician instructors, 163 waxing salons, and 27 waxing schools licensed within the Commonwealth.
The Code of Virginia requires DPB to assess whether an adverse impact may result from the proposed regulation.5 An adverse impact is indicated if there is any increase in net cost or reduction in net benefit for any entity, even if the benefits exceed the costs for all entities combined.6 Since the proposed amendments would increase fees, an adverse impact is indicated.
Small Businesses7 Affected.8 Types and Estimated Number of Small Businesses Affected: The board reports that most of the entities listed above would meet the definition of small businesses. Costs and Other Effects: These entities would face increased application, renewal and reinstatement fees as listed in the table. Alternative Method that Minimizes Adverse Impact: There are no clear alternative methods that both reduce adverse impact and meet the intended policy goals.
Localities9 Affected.10 The proposed amendments would neither affect any locality in particular nor directly create new costs for any local governments.
Projected Impact on Employment. The proposed amendments are not expected to substantively affect total employment.
Effects on the Use and Value of Private Property. The proposed fee increases would marginally raise costs and thus commensurately reduce the value of private studios, salons, spas, and other entities licensed by the board. Real estate development costs would not be affected.
_____________________________
1 Section 2.2-4007.04 of the Code of Virginia requires that such economic impact analyses determine the public benefits and costs of the proposed amendments. Further the analysis should include but not be limited to: (1) the projected number of businesses or other entities to whom the proposed regulatory action would apply, (2) the identity of any localities and types of businesses or other entities particularly affected, (3) the projected number of persons and employment positions to be affected, (4) the projected costs to affected businesses or entities to implement or comply with the regulation, and (5) the impact on the use and value of private property.
2 See https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title54.1/chapter1/section54.1-113/ for the full requirements of the Act. The new requirements regarding unspent revenue took effect on July 1, 2022; these changes were made by Chapters 517 and 697 of the 2019 Acts of Assembly.
3 See https://budget.lis.virginia.gov/item/2024/2/HB6001/Chapter/1/353/. Under Item 4-13.00 of the Appropriation Act, the provisions of this act shall prevail over any conflicting provision of any other law, without regard to whether such other law is enacted before or after this act. Consequently, if a situation were to arise where the Appropriation Act conflicted with the new provisions of the Callahan Act, the language in the Appropriation Act would apply.
4 In some of the other professions, training can be obtained through either schools or apprenticeships.
5 Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.04 D: In the event this economic impact analysis reveals that the proposed regulation would have an adverse economic impact on businesses or would impose a significant adverse economic impact on a locality, business, or entity particularly affected, the Department of Planning and Budget shall advise the Joint Commission on Administrative Rules, the House Committee on Appropriations, and the Senate Committee on Finance. Statute does not define "adverse impact," state whether only Virginia entities should be considered, nor indicate whether an adverse impact results from regulatory requirements mandated by legislation.
6 Statute does not define "adverse impact," state whether only Virginia entities should be considered, nor indicate whether an adverse impact results from regulatory requirements mandated by legislation. As a result, DPB has adopted a definition of adverse impact that assesses changes in net costs and benefits for each affected Virginia entity that directly results from discretionary changes to the regulation.
7 Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.04, small business is defined as "a business entity, including its affiliates, that (i) is independently owned and operated and (ii) employs fewer than 500 full-time employees or has gross annual sales of less than $6 million."
8 If the proposed regulatory action may have an adverse effect on small businesses, § 2.2-4007.04 requires that such economic impact analyses include: (1) an identification and estimate of the number of small businesses subject to the proposed regulation, (2) the projected reporting, recordkeeping, and other administrative costs required for small businesses to comply with the proposed regulation, including the type of professional skills necessary for preparing required reports and other documents, (3) a statement of the probable effect of the proposed regulation on affected small businesses, and (4) a description of any less intrusive or less costly alternative methods of achieving the purpose of the proposed regulation. Additionally, pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, if there is a finding that a proposed regulation may have an adverse impact on small business, the Joint Commission on Administrative Rules shall be notified.
9 "Locality" can refer to either local governments or the locations in the Commonwealth where the activities relevant to the regulatory change are most likely to occur.
10 Section 2.2-4007.04 defines "particularly affected" as bearing disproportionate material impact.
Agency Response to Economic Impact Analysis: The Board for Barbers and Cosmetology concurs with the economic impact analysis prepared by the Department of Planning and Budget.
Summary:
Pursuant to § 54.1-113 of the Code of Virginia, the amendments update the fee schedules of the Board for Barbers and Cosmetology based on projected revenues and expenses to support the costs of the board's operations as well as a proportionate share of the department's operations.
