Does selling beauty products to a salon make the sale tax-exempt?

Short answer

No. Business use and resale are different. Products a salon resells may qualify for a documented resale exemption; products it consumes while providing services generally require a different tax treatment.

Example

Shampoo sold unopened to a customer differs from shampoo used during a salon service.

What to review

Intended use, exemption documentation and the rules where the sale occurs.
