What is required if you move to a new location with your salon license?

When a salon owner moves to a new location, it is essential to inform the commission because this ensures that the licensing records are up to date and compliant with state regulations. Notifying the commission allows them to maintain accurate information regarding the salon's address and operations, which is crucial for safety inspections, regulatory compliance, and client awareness.

While some may think that obtaining a new license might be necessary due to the change of location, in many states including South Dakota, a re-licensing process is not typically required for just moving to a different physical address as long as the premises meet the necessary standards and regulations. Similarly, simply notifying patrons or taking no action at all does not fulfill the legal obligation to keep the licensing authority informed. Keeping communication open with the commission not only adheres to regulations but helps in positioning your salon positively within the professional community.
