Hairdressing Registrations
Licence Summary
If you operate as a hairdresser in Northern Ireland, you must be registered with your Local Authority.
Local authorities can make by-laws relating to the following:
- inspecting premises
- ensuring the premises are sufficiently clean, lit and ventilated and in good repair
- ensuring that fixtures, fittings, furniture and hairdressing equipment are clean and in good repair
- detailing precautions to be taken in relation to protect against contamination or infection
Authorised officers of the Local Authority will have the power to enter and inspect premises at any reasonable time.
Eligibility Criteria
No provision in legislation
Regulations
The Hairdressers Act (Northern Ireland) 1939
Application Evaluation Process
An inspection of the premises will be carried out before the premises may receive their registration certificate.
Will Tacit Consent Apply?
No. It is in the public interest that the authority must process your application before it can be granted. If you have not heard from the Council within 6 weeks of receipt of your full application, please contact us. You can do this online here if you applied through the UK Welcomes service or use the contact details below.

Failed Application Redress
You are advised to take up any issue with the Local Authority first.
Registration Holder Redress
Please contact your Local Authority in the first instance. If a holder is convicted of an offence in a Magistrates Court and the registration is cancelled by the Court, the registration holder may appeal against the cancellation to the Court they were convicted in.
Consumer Complaint
We would always advise that in the event of a complaint the first contact is made with the district council by you - preferably in the form a letter (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked, if you are located in the UK, Consumer Direct will give you advice. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
Other Redress
Please contact the Local Authority in the first instance.
