BEAUTY & WELLNESS PLAYBOOK

Build the common foundation, then add the industry reality.

Salons, spas, fitness, personal-care, aesthetics, and wellness businesses can combine individual professional licenses, facility permits, product rules, memberships, health claims, employees, and location requirements.

BASELINE

The four layers to map before launch.

These are general planning layers, not a substitute for jurisdiction-specific agency instructions or licensed professional advice.

01 · ENTITY

Formation & ownership

  • Confirm professional ownership and entity restrictions for licensed services
  • Align salon/spa/studio name and DBA with licenses and lease
  • Separate ordinary wellness services from clinical or medical activities that trigger a different regulatory layer
02 · AUTHORITY

Licenses & approvals

  • Map individual practitioner and facility licenses
  • Check local health, occupancy, fire, signage, and business approvals
  • Review product, device, clinical, or health-claim rules when services move beyond ordinary personal care
03 · OPERATIONS

How the business runs

  • Maintain practitioner credentials, sanitation, incident, consent, equipment, and product records
  • Use clear membership, cancellation, recurring-payment, and refund terms
  • Plan staffing, commission, booth-rental, or contractor classifications carefully
04 · EVIDENCE

Records to preserve

  • Practitioner and facility licenses
  • Lease and local permits
  • Sanitation and equipment records
  • Membership/customer terms
  • Insurance and incident records
QUESTIONS THAT CHANGE THE ROADMAP

Answer these before treating a generic checklist as complete.

A change in activity, ownership, location, customers, products, workers, or regulated services can change what applies.
