Hair removal

Income from removing hair is taxable under the Service and Other Activities B&O tax classification. You do not have to collect retail sales tax. These services include:

  • Waxing.

  • Threading.

  • Tweezing.

  • Use of depilatories.

You are considered the consumer of all products used to provide these treatments, such as wax, depilatories, thread, and soothing creams. You must pay either retail sales tax or use tax when you purchase these items. Please see the Purchases by the Salon section for more information.
