Issued by Idaho Barber and Cosmetology Services Licensing Board (DOPL), at step 4 of 6 in the opening sequence: get the permits for your kind of business.
Barbershops, cosmetology salons and nail salons all hold a primary establishment license from the one Board, which absorbed the old Board of Cosmetology and Board of Barber Examiners. Apply before opening, pass the inspection and post the license. DOPL moved facility licenses to a new renewal cycle in 2026, so check the expiry date on the license.
