Barber and beauty shop operators purchasing hair tonics, cosmetics and other health and beauty aids, some of which are regularly and continuously sold to their customers and some of which are used or consumed in rendering personal services to their customers, may purchase such items without payment of tax to barber and beauty shop supply houses and other suppliers by furnishing the suppliers with properly executed Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement Certificates of Exemption, Form E-595E.
