Permanent Makeup in Salem, New Hampshire

Permanent makeup in Salem, NH is a cosmetic tattooing service that deposits pigment in the upper layer of skin to fill in eyebrows, define a lip line, or line the eyes, performed at Adriana’s Permanent Makeup’s single Main Street storefront and regulated on two levels at once: a statewide New Hampshire body art license from the state, and a separate Town of Salem license issued under Salem Chapter 433.

Why Does Choosing the Salem, NH Studio Change Which Rules Apply?

Choosing a Salem, NH studio instead of a Massachusetts one changes which authority regulates the practitioner: New Hampshire licenses body art practitioners at the state level under RSA 314-A, while Massachusetts leaves body art regulation to each town’s own Board of Health, so a Salem client can verify a license directly with the state instead of a town hall.

In New Hampshire, body art is regulated at the state level, with two narrow exceptions: the law does not apply to a person licensed by the New Hampshire Board of Medicine or the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification acting within the scope of certain other professional licenses, or to a person or facility that performs only ear-lobe piercing (RSA 314-A:4). Outside those exceptions, any body art practitioner in New Hampshire must be licensed directly by the state’s Office of Professional Licensure and Certification under RSA 314-A, regardless of which town they work in.

Under the rules currently in force, that license requires either a supervised apprenticeship — a minimum of 1,500 hours of training per year, over 12 to 24 months, for the first specialty — or at least three years of supervised practice in an establishment, compliant with the applicable statutes and rules. Under either path, the applicant must separately complete a course in the proper sterilization of instruments and materials (RSA 314-A:2, III); it is an additional condition, not an either/or. Eyebrow microblading performed specifically by a licensed cosmetologist or esthetician follows a separate, shorter certificate process under RSA 314-A:2, IV.

Massachusetts has no equivalent single state license: Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 111, Section 31 gives each town’s own Board of Health that authority instead, so an OPLC license travels statewide while a Massachusetts town permit stays tied to that one town’s Board of Health.

Salem, NH also sits on NH Route 97, Main Street’s full length; the nearest I-93 access is Exit 2, Pelham Road, per the Town of Salem’s own transportation plan. New Hampshire has no passenger rail at all — MBTA Commuter Rail ends at Lowell and Haverhill, MA — unlike the Wilmington, MA studio’s town, served by two commuter rail stations. Salem has 30,964 residents (Census, ACS 2024) in a state with no general sales tax, a statewide fact, not a discount from this studio.

The most common hesitation about booking anywhere is uncertainty over licensing and healing. The perfecting touch-up is already included in every price above, not billed later; call (978) 223-7496 with healing questions, or read the aftercare guide.
