Salon, barbershop & nail studio check
Before you buy, lease, move, or change a Michigan salon, barbershop, or nail studio
Tell us what services happen, who provides them, what the state file shows, how the rooms are set up, and what products or waste the work creates. You’ll get a dated call sheet: who to call, what to ask, what to gather, and what still needs a written answer.

Built from current official Michigan starting points
This is a starting map. The agency or local office makes the final call.
Dealing with a fire, serious injury, chemical exposure, breathing trouble, or another immediate danger? Call 911 first when anyone may be in danger. Then review Michigan’s serious-injury reporting route.
One shop can have several separate license questions.
The premises license, each provider’s license, local use, construction work, sanitation, chemicals, waste, and worker status stay in their own lanes.
This check goes deep on fixed salons, nail and skin studios, cosmetology suites, barbershops, and home-adjacent shops. Mobile work, temporary events, and schools receive a careful handoff.
A short call sheet, in the right order.
Why it showed up
Every task points back to something you told us.
What to ask
Use the question on the phone or in an email.
What remains unknown
The call sheet names what the agency or local office still needs to decide.
Made for fixed shops and studios
Useful before a purchase, lease, move, opening, takeover, expansion, or service change.
This route keeps barber and cosmetology premises licenses, individual provider licenses, local use, rooms and fixtures, inspection readiness, chemicals, ventilation, waste, workers, buyer obligations, and added services in separate lanes. Natural-hair-only work gets a careful boundary check. Mobile work, temporary events, and schools get a direct handoff instead of being squeezed into a storefront answer.
