I addition, you will need to get licenses as discussed below.

The annual income of these establishments is about $21 billion. 51 of the Major  Beauty Salons  companies include American Haircuts, Regis, Ratner Companies, Premier Salons, and Sport Clips, Vidal Sasson etc generate 17 percent of the industry revenue.

Beauty Supply

  Beauty Supply Stores continues to expand. The industry includes specialty beauty shops, providing services such as cosmetics, hair, nail and skin care products. Income for Beauty Supply Stores revenue grows with an annual rate of 0.4%, recently reaching an expected $9.4 billion. In addition to standard Beauty supply store products, a lot of Beauty Supply Stores offer hair color and care, skin and nail care, cosmetics, electrical appliances and other miscellaneous beauty products such as shampoos, conditioners, hair treatments such as oils, serums, hair loss treatments, and keratin treatments aimed at strengthening and improving the health of hair,  hair sprays, hair glosses, gels and glues, mousses and foams, hair root lifters, pomades, pastes, waxes and a number of other products.

So, most beauty supply store sell beauty supply  merchandise, such as beauty accessories such as perfumes, natural beauty enhanced products, bath and spa accessories such as candles  and bath soap, fashion make up and fashion items, such as jewelry, fake eyelashes, head bands, head clips, etc.

These items are subject to sales tax  so the first thing is to get a sellers permit to buy merchandise wholesale and sell it retail.

  Aside from that, you then need to select your beauty supply store business structure: Sole Proprietor, Partnership, LLC or Corporation.

  The above step is important business all  Store  documents will be filed under the type of business organizational structure.

  Of course, you can have a brick and mortar, road side, mobile or online store.

  All of these require the same licensing not because of the type of location but because there  are all businesses.

  After that, you will need to obtain a beauty supply store business permit.

  This is a general business permit that all new businesses must obtain.

  More than 31% of the GNP, though, less than $5,000,000.00 is generated through retail sales business.

  Though less than 2 million retail businesses, there is about 1.6 ml retail stores not including online retail.

   Note that in the majority of the beauty supply store cases you do not need to obtain a business permit that is specifically for your type of business.

  You only need a general business permit.

   In addition, all businesses must be identified by a business tax ID called a federal tax ID number or Employer Identification Number (EIN).

  If you file as a beauty supply store sole proprietor, you can use your social security number instead of the federal ID.

   Then, 99% of all stores require a sellers permit if you sell merchandise wholesale or retail.  The sellers permit is also called state ID, wholesale ID, resale ID, or re-seller license.

  If you are an employer, you will need a federal employer Number and a State Employer Number.

  If you do business as a name other than your full legal name, for example, you do business as "ABC beauty supply store Discount Store," you will need to file a doing business as (DBA) filing.

  Finally, you have the option or incorporating or forming an LLC. Setting up as one of these corporate entities allows you not to file a DBA.
