What permits do you need to open a salon or barber in Monroe County Ny?

Appearance Enhancement Business License

$60 for four years — among the cheapest salon licenses in the country on an annual basis, and the same $60 to renew. It covers cosmetology, esthetics, nail specialty, natural hair styling and waxing premises. The fee is not the constraint; the bonding is. A nail specialty business must carry accidental and professional liability cover of at least $25,000 per occurrence and $75,000 in aggregate, plus a surety bond scaled to headcount: $25,000 for two to five full-time-equivalent nail workers, $40,000 for six to ten, $75,000 for eleven to twenty-five and $125,000 for twenty-six or more. A barber shop is licensed separately under a different article at the same $60.

Barber Shop Owner License

$60 for four years, needed by anyone who owns, controls or operates a barber shop — as sole proprietor, partner, shareholder or officer. Separate from the individual barber license, which is $40 plus a $15 practical examination fee. The rule that catches shops out: a licensed operator working in the shop who is not employed by the owner counts as an independent contractor and needs their own Area Renter license, so a chair-rental model means several licenses rather than one.
