South Dakota is consolidating the Board of Barber Examiners and the Cosmetology Commission into a single agency called the Cosmetology and Barbering Board, effective July 1, 2025. Both agencies' functions and oversight will be transferred to the Department of Labor and Regulation under this new combined board structure. This merger streamlines state regulation of barbers and cosmetologists under one unified licensing and regulatory authority.
