Clothes for hairstylists
$50-$1,000
Can Hairstylists Write Off Clothes?
Short answer: Usually no: everyday clothes aren't deductible for hairstylists, even if you only wear them for work.
Black salon clothes you could wear elsewhere aren't deductible; smocks and aprons are.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s and platform tax summaries, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose.
