Business & farm

Agreeing with @Critter  excellent reply, just wanted to point out  that you really have two types of income to consider  (a) the service portion -- hair styling etc.  and (b) retail sale ( of beauty products ).  You report all this on Schedule-C.   Ideally you need to take stock of your inventory on the first day of the business of the year  and again on the last day of the year -----  on your daily ledger you have already entered all the incomes  and all the expenses, including all the goods  ( inventory ) that you bought to sell later.  

These items for sale  are used to compute  Cost of Goods Sold  (COGS) ---  Total yearly expense on  inventory + cost of inventory Carried forward ( from last year )  LESS cost of inventory remaining at the end of the year.    Thus when you show your Gross income  ( from this business )  one of the expense is the COGS.  Supplies is another expense  -- this is all the material that you bought  to use  in providing the service portion of the business like shampoo that you used for hair-styling on clients etc. etc.  TurboTax will walk you through all of this.

Hope this helps
