LAWS and REGULATIONS:

Most states will require that the persons working for the salon have appropriate barber/cosmotology licenses, and the salon may need a license for that too. Your salon will need to meet state and local health and safety codes. You are also likely to need a local business license of some kind. If your services are subject to sales tax in your state, you may need a sales tax license as well. The location of your salon will be limited by city/county zoning laws. It would be a very good idea for anyone wanting to open a hair salon to consult a local business attorney and a tax attorney to help you get set up properly.
