About each permit
Salon License
West Virginia licenses cosmetology and barbering premises under one shared umbrella term, salon, rather than pricing a separate barber shop category — the statute and the board's own fee page both use the single term, so a barber shop and a cosmetology salon take the identical $90 opening fee and $40 annual renewal. The board must approve the facility and receive at least twenty days' written notice before a new salon opens.
