Barbers Financial Tools in Missouri — FAQ
How do I get a barber license in Missouri?
To become a licensed barber in Missouri, 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 ($50).
What's the best business structure for a barbershop in Missouri?
Most barbershops in Missouri operate as an LLC ($50 filing fee). If you rent chairs to independent barbers, the LLC structure is especially important for separating your personal liability from the business.
Do barbershops in Missouri need a separate bank account?
