  • Beauty Salon and Barber Shop Licensing

In 1984, after the State Department of Public Health discontinued its inspection program, the TAHD adopted its own local regulations that provide for the licensing and inspection of Beauty Salons and Barber Shops. These facilities are inspected annually or as necessary to enforce the provisions of the regulation. In recent years the barber shop and beauty salon image has changed giving rise to unisex salons with a variety of services including nail treatments, tanning booths, facial treatments and hair removal. 

Our inspection includes a check to see that the staff is properly licensed as well as to ensure that the business is clean and properly maintained. All equipment must be cleaned and sanitized in accordance with the provisions of the regulation. Whenever a shop is newly constructed or remodeled, a copy of the plans must be submitted to the Health District for review and approval prior to the start of work. As of October 2000, Nail Technicians must have an occupational license obtained from the State of Connecticut.

Please follow the link below to obtain the TAHD Beauty Salon & Barber Shop Application. 
The application will not be accepted without the appropriate licensing fee.  

Application for beauty parlor, barber shop or nail salon.
