There's no single national licence, but your local council may have its own view -- alongside the genuinely unsettled question of patch testing. Here's what to check before working around East Riding of Yorkshire.
What the rules say
Mobile hairdressing has no single UK-wide licence -- the position is set council by council, with some local authorities keeping their own byelaw registration requirement and others dropping it entirely. Checking your specific council is the only reliable way to know where you stand. Trading without any formal qualification is legally fine, though HABIA-aligned NVQ/SVQ training is what clients and insurers commercially expect, especially for colour work.
Quick answers

There's no single national licence. Some local authorities retain their own hairdressing/barbering byelaws requiring registration; others have deregulated entirely. Check directly with the council covering Hessle Cliff before you start trading.
Do I need a qualification to start a hairdressing business in Hessle Cliff?

How do I get my first clients as a mobile hairdresser in Hessle Cliff?
Most mobile hairdressers in Hessle Cliff build their first client base through personal networks, local social media groups, and word-of-mouth referrals. The Hairdressing Business Launch Kit covers a full marketing and client-building plan.
Is patch testing a legal requirement for mobile hairdressing in Hessle Cliff?
This is genuinely contested and depends on the specific product and service -- it isn't a single settled legal requirement everywhere in the UK, including Hessle Cliff. The Hairdressing Business Launch Kit sets out the honest, current picture rather than flattening it into a false yes or no.
