Registration is required, under the Staffordshire Act 1983,
for premises that are used for the purpose of a hairdresser or
barbers undertaking.
It is an offence to operate as a hairdresser or barber without
a valid registration, or, in non-compliance with the bye-laws
attached to any registration issued.
Applications for registration can take two months to process
because of consultations that may have to take place with emergency
services and/or enforcement authorities.
Premises will always be inspected before a registration
certificate is issued and inspections to assess compliance with the
bye-laws may be made at any time thereafter.
If you are thinking of setting up a business involving
hairdressing or as a barber, you should discuss your proposals with
one of our licensing officers (see contact details below), before
incurring any expenditure.
Erection of additional facilities, or, changing the use of
existing premises may require prior approval under Town and Country
Planning Acts and/or Building Regulations.
