Personal Care Product Sales to Customers

Original post at: https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/industry/barbers-beauty-shops.htm#Topics

In general, when you sell hair styling and personal care products, such as shampoos, conditioners, nail polishes, skincare products, etc. to your customers, the sales are subject to sales tax. Although your personal care services may not be taxable, if you sell products to your customers, you are required to register with the CDTFA for a seller’s permit, file returns, and pay taxes on your retail sales. For more information, please see publication 107, Do You Need a California Seller’s Permit?
