Barber shop equipment

$5,000-$40,000

Can You Write Off Barber Shop Equipment?

Short answer: Yes: chairs, mirrors, sterilizers, and stations to open a barbershop are deductible, as are build-out costs over 15 years.

Startup costs up to $5,000 can be deducted in year one.

Records to keep: Keep the receipt, proof of payment, and a note or log showing business use; for mixed-use items, track the business percentage.
