Hair & Barber Council The Hair Council is the industry body campaigning on behalf of hairdressers & barbers to raise standa Why don't you join the register by applying today here?

The Hair Council was set up in 1964 by an Act of Parliament. This means that hairdressers can apply to become State Registered in the same way as doctors, dentists or nurses can. The only difference is that it is currently voluntary to belong to the UK Register of qualified hairdressers, but the Hair Council is campaigning to make registration mandatory in the aim to raise standards within the Industry. The Hairdressing Council believes in the professionalism and passion of hairdressing and its aim is to raise standards, making the industry self regulated. Ideally every hairdresser should be state registered which would eliminate those cowboys who practise hairdressing with no qualifications or experience whatsoever. Once registered, you can log in to the members area of the website and find exclusive goods, offers and discounts, details about how to become a Master Craftsman and read the latest SRH magazine. Details of how to get discounted insurance are also available. Once registered, your Salon details will be included in the online Register where consumers are able to search for their nearest State Registered Hairdresser.

An important message from Gareth! 📢

Yesterday, Vikki Slade MP made a Presentation Bill to the House of Commons to change the law to mandate the registration of hairdressers and barbers.

So, what comes next?

Basically, we need to get widespread support among MPs for this to become law. For that to happen, we’re going to need our community to contact their MPs and explain why this is so important.

As we said on the webinar the best way to do this is to see the MP face to face through their constituency surgery as they receive hundreds of letters and emails all of which are answered by staff not the MP themselves. In many cases the MP may not even know about it!

Please do watch the full video for more information and if you need help with contact numbers etc, please do get in touch, we are more than happy to help!

What is the presentation bill that MP is set to make in the House of Commons later today?

Why did we host a webinar earlier this week? 🎥

Because a change in the law, something we’ve been working towards for many years, is possibly as close as it has ever been.
