Hi Yashel, Lashes By Yashel is an exciting name to see on a new business in Kennewick. A cozy home studio, a reclining bed, and steady hands are most of what you need, and every stunning set becomes an advertisement on a client's face. Your first stop is the Washington business license with a reseller permit: it makes your sales legal and your wholesale buying tax-free with a resale certificate. Here is what we will cover: how to structure Lashes By Yashel, the tax IDs it needs, and the licenses that let you open in Kennewick, then a quick recap.
Washington combines its business license with sales tax registration, so selling lashes to buyers means registering to collect sales tax, whether the order ships or gets picked up. Form your LLC by choosing a name, naming a registered agent and filing, then get an EIN and register. Selling lash products is retail, but applying lashes on clients is a licensed beauty service, so keep the two separate if you're thinking of both. Washington has no state income tax on wages, which matters only if you hire. Buy lashes from suppliers using a resale certificate, then watch the glue labels, since adhesive ingredients are regulated.
By the numbers: Banks, insurers, and tax forms will ask for your industry code. For an eyelash extension studio it is NAICS 812112 (Beauty Salons). That makes 7 items on your list.
Tip: Patch test new clients and have them sign a consent form describing adhesive risks before the first full set.

Here's How to Get Your WA Seller's Permit and Other permits and Registrations You May Need.
WA Seller's Permit, LLC, DBA, Licenses & Tax IDs Requirements:
Start with a Connecticut sales and use tax permit. A thrift and consignment shop sells taxable goods to the public, so you must collect sales tax, and consigned items count as your sales too.
• Trade name: a DBA if you operate under a shop name as a sole proprietor, though an LLC would separate the shop's debts from your own. • EIN: useful for banking and required once you hire anyone. • Local business license and zoning approval for the Bridgeport storefront, plus any certificate of occupancy for the space. • Written consignment agreements with each seller, spelling out the split and the holding period. • Employer accounts for unemployment and withholding if you add staff.
Secondhand dealer rules sometimes apply to jewelry or electronics, so ask us before stocking those.
In Mississippi you would register for a sales tax permit. That registration is what lets you hand wholesalers a resale certificate, so you buy inventory without paying sales tax on it, and it also obliges you to collect tax on sales to Mississippi customers.
As a sole proprietor you can run under your own name, or file a DBA if you want a brand name on your website and invoices. Many wholesalers also ask for an EIN, which keeps your Social Security number off paperwork. Check whether your town wants a local privilege or business license even for a home-based online shop. If you will sell into other states in volume, you may owe sales tax registration there too. An LLC is optional but worth considering once sales grow, and we can file every piece of this for you.
Your cosmetology license covers the services you perform, but selling products is a separate matter. In Ohio you need a vendor's license, since you will be collecting sales tax on every bottle and tool sold to a client.
That same vendor's license lets you buy product from distributors using a resale certificate, so you stop paying tax at the wholesale counter. If you work from a salon booth, ask the owner whether sales run through their register or yours, because that decides whose license is used. Add an EIN, and an LLC or DBA if you want a brand name on your invoices. Your contractor license does not figure into retail, so unless you sell in a store you lease, a local business license is the only other piece. We can file the vendor's license and EIN for you.
