Can I write off Personal Grooming in Canada?

NO

Explanation

Haircuts, makeup, and skin care are considered personal expenses, even for models, actors, or public speakers. The CRA views these as expenses you would incur regardless of your profession.

💡 Pro Tip

Exceptions exist for performance artists regarding specific stage makeup or hairdressing required for a specific production, but not for general maintenance.
