Proposed Law Supports Sensory Stylists Serving Special Needs Clients

Share
Share

A proposed bill is sitting at the Rhode Island State House that could pave the way for “sensory stylists” to legally provide in-home haircuts for individuals with disabilities and sensory-related needs.

Senate Bill 0381 aims to allow licensed mobile hairstylists to travel to homes, offering their services to those who are disabled or have special needs that make traditional salon visits challenging. 

Currently, sensory stylists are not legally recognized in Rhode Island, limiting access to personalized hair care for many residents.

While the bill has garnered support from disability advocates and caregivers, it has been held for further study, delaying any immediate legislative action.

Supporters hope the measure will move forward, citing the growing demand for inclusive and accessible personal care services in the state.💈💇🏻‍♂️💇🏾♥️ @thesensorystylist401
