Apply for a hairdresser or barber registration
Under the Leicestershire Act 1985, we are required to register all hairdresser and barber businesses in the borough.
Types of registration
Business and Premises
If you are the owner of a hairdresser or barber business, you will need to register your business and premises with us. You can do this by clicking the button below. You will be sent to payment automatically.
This registration is for the business named at the premises listed on the registration document only. It is not transferable to any other business owner or premises location. For example,
- If a new business moves into the location, they would require a new registration as each business requires their own inspection.
- If the registered business moves location, they would require a new registration as the premises would need inspecting.

What else do I need to do?
You will need to ensure you have the necessary permissions under the planning acts to operate your business. Please contact the Planning Team or find further advice by visiting our pages on planning permissions.
