Barbers Financial Tools in South Dakota — FAQ

How do I get a barber license in South Dakota?

To become a licensed barber in South Dakota, 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 ($150).
