Mobile Beauty in The Manor
What the rules say
Nails, lash and brow work, waxing, facials and make-up sit outside any single national licence -- but don't assume that extends automatically to every treatment you offer. Some London boroughs specifically license nail treatments at fixed premises and exempt mobile/home-visit nail work, but other treatments in your menu may be treated differently by the same council, and outside London there's no equivalent confirmed scheme -- check per treatment, per council. Semi-permanent make-up and any machine-based or peel treatment sit under separate, stricter licensing and aren't covered here. Products need to be compliant and properly labelled. DBS depends on whether you're providing personal-care assistance due to a client's age, illness or disability, not the beauty treatment itself. As a sole trader, public liability insurance remains optional in law; employers' liability insurance is a legal requirement from your first non-family employee onward.
Questions about starting in The Manor
Is there a minimum age for mobile beauty treatments in The Manor?
No statute sets a minimum age. A 16+ industry code-of-practice convention exists for tint treatments specifically, tied to product labelling and insurer conditions -- check your own insurer's written terms before treating anyone under 16 in The Manor.
How do I find my first mobile beauty clients in The Manor?
Many mobile beauty therapists in The Manor start through personal networks, local social media groups and before-and-after photos, alongside a Google Business Profile and local directory listings.
Do I need to register as a waste carrier to dispose of nail or wax products used in The Manor?
This likely falls under a general hazardous-waste duty of care, though it hasn't been confirmed from a primary source for this specific trade -- it's worth checking directly with the Environment Agency or a licensed waste contractor covering The Manor.
Do I need a licence to start a mobile beauty business in The Manor?
There's no single national licence covering nails, lashes, waxing, facials or make-up. Some London boroughs license nail treatments at fixed premises and exempt mobile work specifically -- check directly with the council covering The Manor, treatment by treatment.
