About each permit

Barbershop Permit

Identical in price and structure to a beauty salon permit — $56 plus a $169 inspection to open and $56 to renew — but issued by a different board under a different chapter, and expiring on a different date: barbershops run to 31 May of an odd year where salons run to 31 October. A shop doing both trades therefore holds two permits on two clocks. A mobile barbershop costs the same $225 and requires the applicant already to own premises.
