Check a Texas salon's license
Search the statewide TDLR roster — 71,250cosmetology establishment licenses — for any salon's license number, class, and expiration on file. It's the same ten-second check you can do at the front desk, done from your couch.
What this data does — and doesn't — tell you. A TDLR establishment license is a legal registration, not a safety rating: this search says nothing about cleanliness, inspections, or how a salon actually operates — Texas publishes no establishment-level inspection or disciplinary data in this dataset, and SafePedicures has not inspected any salon. Results come from a dated snapshot of the state's file (retrieved 2026-07-01; TDLR last updated it 2026-04-12), so a license shown past expiration may have been renewed since — always confirm current standing on the official TDLR search before acting on it.
How to use what you find
- Found, unexpired: the baseline legal box is checked. The things that actually protect your feet — autoclaves, single-use tools, clean basins — you still check in person: take the free safety checklist.
- Found, past expiration: per TDLR's rule, an establishment with an expired license may not continue to offer services — but our snapshot lags renewals, so verify on the official search, then ask the salon about it.
- Not found: try fewer words or the registered business name (salons often register under a different legal name than the sign out front). A miss here is not proof a salon is unlicensed.
