Here to support the hair and beauty industry
The beauty sector is one of the most accident-prone industries. And that means managing health & safety in hairdressing and beauty can be a demanding job.
When accidents happen, the legal responsibility lies with you – the employer. So you'll need to do all you can to protect your staff, contractors, visitors, and clients.
That's why we're here to reduce your risk. Our consultants can visit your workplace to identify any hazards and help you remove them.
And with our 24/7 helpline, you can speak to a qualified health & safety consultant whenever you need support. Whether you need advice on following HSE hairdressing guidance or handling hazardous substances, our experts are here to help.
Our experience with health and safety has been nothing short of outstanding. Action plans formulated by the health and safety consultant are pragmatic and offer a solution for all our health and safety concerns. Advisors on the health and safety advice line are always friendly, they are always willing to assist and nothing is too much trouble. The health and safety management system offers a super way to track all health and safety and is easy to use.

Flawless HR advice for hair and beauty businesses
The beauty industry is fast-paced and hands-on. If you don’t have the time to deal with HR issues, we’re here to help.
Here are some of the most common HR issues in the beauty business:
- Employment status – such as rent-a-chair staff, contractors, or self-employed workers
- Making sure tips are dealt with fairly
- Workplace conflict between team members
- Grievance procedures
And while these issues are common, you might not have the in-house experience to resolve them on your own – especially if you own a small business.
Our HR consultants can support you with whatever issues you face. You can speak to the UK’s leading experts whenever you like with our 24/7 helpline. And that’s not all – we’ll take care of your time-consuming paperwork and provide expert support when you need it most.
