Hairdressers

From July 2025, hairdressers will no longer be required to register their premises. This is because a decision has been made to disestablish the Health (Hairdressers) Regulations 1980. For more information, see the government media release.

This means existing hairdressers do not need to renew their registration.

If you are opening a new hairdressing business, please contact our building and planning teams to check the legalities of your proposal.
