Nail Salons Financial Tools in South Dakota — FAQ

How do I open a nail salon in South Dakota?

To open a nail salon in South Dakota, you'll need nail technician licenses for all techs, a salon establishment license, an LLC ($150), liability insurance, and a location meeting state ventilation and sanitation requirements. Check with the South Dakota Board of Cosmetology for specifics.
