Haircut
$25-$150
Can You Write Off Haircut?
Short answer: No, grooming is personal, even for on-camera work.
Hair and makeup for a specific photo or video shoot can be a business cost for performers.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
