Hair salons & barbers in Long Island City, New York

How do I check a salon or barber's licence in New York?

Every listing here shows the licence number, status and expiry from the state's own records. Before you hire, confirm it on the state's lookup - it takes a minute.

1. Open the official lookup: New York Department of State, Division of Licensing Services.
2. Search by the licence number shown on the listing (or the business name).
3. Check the status is current/active and the expiry date has not passed.
4. Ask for proof of insurance as well - a licence alone does not cover damage to your home.
5. Get the price and the scope of work in writing before any work starts.

How do I get a fair price from a salon or barber in Long Island City?

Get three quotes for the same job and compare them line by line.

2. Ask each for a written quote: labour, materials, permits and how long it takes.
3. Be careful with a quote far below the others - it often leaves things out.
4. Or tap "Compare 3 quotes" - Pludor sends your job to local pros and brings the prices back to you.
