Bayonne, NJ
The owner shared: “I just opened my own in-home hair salon. I want to sell retail but need to know what I need to do. I need help finding the correct licenses and permits for an online hair extension wholesale store.”
Salon services and retail are two tracks. Your styling needs the state cosmetology license and, for working at home, local home occupation approval. Selling hair extensions retail or wholesale adds the Certificate of Authority for your state. New Jersey suppliers will then take your Form ST-3 Resale Certificate so extensions bought for resale are tax-free. Product you use on clients in the chair is a supply, not resale.
Short answer: For an in-home hair salon in Bayonne, New Jersey, the essentials are the Certificate of Authority, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
The New Jersey version of the seller's permit is the Certificate of Authority. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form ST-3 Resale Certificate. Suppliers generally accept a resale certificate only from a buyer registered for sales tax, so even a business that mostly buys and sells wholesale usually registers. New Jersey's ST-3 resale certificate requires the buyer's New Jersey registration number for in-state buyers.
