South Carolina
The Labor Licensing Regulation is the primary regulatory body for beauticians in South Carolina. It created the Board of Cosmetology, the Board of Barber Examiners and the Massage Therapy Practice Act to govern different beauty laws. Schools offering beauty courses must also be approved by the boards.
