Summary of S 3192: Nail Salon Price Transparency Act

Bill Overview

This bill, titled the "Nail Salon Price Transparency Act", would require appearance enhancement businesses that practice nail specialty to disclose their prices and any additional charges to customers prior to providing services.

Key Provisions

  • Businesses covered by the bill would be required to:

    • Prominently display a full price list for all nail services offered
    • Disclose any additional fees or surcharges (e.g. for premium products, special techniques, etc.) before services are performed
    • Provide customers with a written estimate of the total expected cost before beginning services
  • The bill would apply to all nail salons, spas, and other appearance enhancement businesses that offer nail care, manicures, pedicures, and related treatments.

  • Businesses found to be in violation would face civil penalties of up to $500 per violation.

Intended Impact

The main goal of this legislation is to increase price transparency and prevent surprise costs for consumers seeking nail care services. By requiring upfront disclosure of all prices and fees, the bill aims to:

  • Allow customers to make informed decisions about services and costs
  • Prevent the common practice of "hidden fees" or unexpected charges
  • Promote fair pricing and competition in the nail care industry

Procedural Details

  • This bill was introduced in the Senate on November 18, 2025 and has been referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection for consideration.
  • It builds on previous legislative efforts around nail salon regulations, including S 8136, S 5123, S 187, and S 1188 from prior sessions.
  • If enacted, the new price disclosure requirements would take effect 90 days after the bill is signed into law.

Overall, S 3192 aims to improve transparency and consumer protections in the nail care services market through targeted price disclosure mandates for businesses. The goal is to empower consumers and promote fairness in an industry that has historically lacked clear pricing standards.
