How to Start a Mobile Hairdressing Business in Wig-Fach

Wig-Fach is as reasonable a place as any to start a mobile hairdressing business -- just be aware that council rules on registration differ across the UK, Bridgend included.

What the rules say

There's no single national licence for mobile hairdressing -- but some local authorities retain their own hairdressing/barbering byelaws requiring registration, while others have deregulated entirely. You'll need to check the specific position for your own council. No qualification is legally required to trade, though HABIA-aligned NVQ/SVQ training is the commercially expected industry standard, particularly for colour and chemical services.
