If you are a business owner and are looking to open hairdressing, hair salon, or barbering business, then you may need to register your business with the local council. This is in the form of a Hairdresser Licence.
We make becoming a hairdresser a simple, stress-free process ✅
Registering a hairdressing, hair salon, or barbering business with a local council allows the local authority to check that you are following health and safety rules.
You may also need to display a copy of your licence where it can be easily seen by customers and members of the public. The law also requires that a copy of any bylaws made under Section 77 of the Public Health Act 1961 should also be displayed, where applicable.
Even if your council doesn’t need you to register for a Hairdressing Licence, you will still have to comply with local health and safety laws. These include:
✅ Making sure your premises are clean, well-lit and properly ventilated
✅ Taking precautions against infection or contamination
✅ Making sure your staff work hygienically and use equipment efficiently
✅ Getting public liability insurance cover
Hairdresser licence applications must be made via your local council. You can find the contact details for your local council at the Official UK Government Website.
