About the Hairdressing Council

Set up by an Act of Parliament, we are the only statutory authority in the sector providing recognition through our register.

We advocate for a well‑regulated, well‑respected craft that is trusted by consumers and viable for professionals.

We are raising standards in the hairdressing and barber sector by encouraging every qualified and trained professional to join us.

What We Do

We actively champion our industry at the heart of Westminster by delivering robust evidence, shaping policy through detailed consultation responses, and engaging directly in high-level discussions with Ministers, Civil Servants, MPs, APPGs and Peers to influence decisions that matter.

Promote registration and professional standards across salons, barbershops, freelancers and training providers.

Publish guidance on health & safety, hygiene, sustainability and consumer protection.

Run campaigns championing apprenticeships, CPD, fair work and more.

We bring together brands, educators and other trade associations around our shared priorities.
