About ABIHS Europe and our Goals
Due to Brexit, we have set up Ireland a European Office for the British & International Association of Hairdressing Schools to ensure equal opportunities for all European members and graduates.
Whilst state registration is mandatory for doctors, nurses, dentists, and several other professions, it is not so for hairdressers and barbers for whom registration is currently voluntary. The Hair and Barber Council has many aims: one of which is to increase significantly the number of hairdressers and barbers who join the UK Register of Qualified Hairdressers and Barbers, whilst also bringing about a parliamentary debate followed by a statutory change to the Current Act of Parliament, so that all practicing hairdressers and barbers will need to be registered in order to work in the UK.
In order to achieve our goals and to provide advice and support to registered hairdressers and barbers, the members of the Hair Council committee and the Barber Council committee, meet throughout the year to discuss ways to progress.
If you are a qualified hairdresser or barber, who is striving to generate a positive reputation in your area, being able to promote yourself as a State Registered Hairdresser (SRH) or a State Registered Barber (SRB) will immediately tell clients and potential clients that you are a qualified, professional hairdresser and/or barber.
As a state registered hairdresser and/or barber you will also receive advice and access to marketing materials to promote your status, copies of all our newsletters, discounts on insurance, access to HR support if required, and the opportunity to become a Master Craftsman once you have been a registered member for two consecutive years or more.
Find out more about how you can be recognised as a fully- qualified professional hairdresser or barber today.
