Barbers Financial Tools in Indiana — FAQ

How do I get a barber license in Indiana?

To become a licensed barber in Indiana, you'll need to complete barber school (typically 1,000–1,500 hours), pass the state board exam, and apply for your license. To open a shop, you'll also need an establishment license and LLC registration ($95).

What's the best business structure for a barbershop in Indiana?
