Hairdressers or barbers
You must register your hairdressing or barber business with the council. This regulation exists to secure the cleanliness of premises and equipment and to minimise the risk of transmission of infection.
How to register
Download, print, fill out and return a paper form.
Contact us if you would like a form posted out to you.
If you choose to register in the name of your business, all operators will be covered and a registered person may occasionally operate at another premise.
If you choose to register as an individual, only that person will be covered.
How long will the registration last?
It will last for as long as your business operates within the area. However, you will need to re-register if a business moves or changes hands.
You must display a copy of the certificate of registration at your premises.
Fees
There is no charge for registration
Tacit consent
