“The Hair and Barber Council have been a long established organisation campaigning for recognition as a professional, well-qualified industry.Having represented Scotland on the Hair and Barber Council Committee for many years I have seen first hand the dedicated team pushing forward the aim of mandatory registration. Had we all been registered pre Covid-19 maybe all the salons would have had a more even playing field with equal support and one place to rely on good information and advice to help them through this hard time…. this is what the Hair and Barber Council shine at. If we work together to achieve this Mandatory Registration Goal we will have a more powerful voice representing the weight of our industry. Working closely with the APPG in Westminster many concerns have been raised, and some resolved. The industry recognition has improved with this parliamentary group and public awareness has risen. We are a £6.6 Billion pound industry and growing …lets unite and get the best for our industry and ourselves: recognition, status and more power to make changes that will benefit all of us.”
