A cosmetology salon or barbershop needs the applicable Florida DBPR establishment license as well as local site approval. The physical location must be allowed for the use and may need building, plumbing, electrical, accessibility, occupancy, fire, sign, and municipal business-tax approvals depending on the space and jurisdiction. A practitioner license alone does not license the shop. For home salons or barber operations, apply the state establishment rules together with home-business and local building requirements.
