STOP! PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BEGIN!
This application is four pages long. Please make sure you complete all pages.
You must file this form at least 15 days before the shop will be ready for inspection.
Do not leave any fields blank, unless the instructions say that the field is optional or
that you can leave it blank. Otherwise, your application may be returned.
Please be sure to have the form notarized and make sure it’s legible.
Send the completed form to the address above along with your payment.
Please carefully review the requirements for shops in the board’s rules. The rules
are available at www.ncbarbers.com under “Resources” and then “Laws,” or you can
ask for a copy of the rules from the contact information at the top of this page.
Shops that don’t meet the requirements in rule or statute will not be licensed, and
you may lose the inspection fee.
FEES
To open a barber shop, you will need to pay an inspection fee and a permit fee. Please
pay by check, cashier check, or money order. Please DO NOT send cash.
Inspection fee $120. You must include the inspection fee with this application.
Your application will not be processed without this fee.
Permit fee $50. You may also include the permit fee with the application, but
you are not required to pay this fee until after you pass inspection. However, you
cannot open the shop until you pay the permit fee. If you want to open the shop
on the same day that you pass inspection, please include $170, which includes
both fees.
