Did you know?
The UK beauty industry is unregulated - this means that anyone can open a salon, or work as a therapist, without any training, qualifications, or insurance. The repercussions of this can be extremely precarious. If you were to receive a treatment from an unqualified or uninsured therapist, and something went wrong or you had a reaction, then you may find yourself in a vulnerable situation.
Members of the British Association of Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology (ľ¹ÏÊÓƵ) are appropriately qualified, meticulously verified and appropriately insured giving you peace of mind that you’re being treated by a professional that prides themselves on their high standards.
Look out for our ‘Qualified, Verified & Insured’ window stickers or certificates on display in ľ¹ÏÊÓƵ approved salons. If you’re unsure about the qualifications or insurance status of a therapist, don’t be afraid to ask them about it. ľ¹ÏÊÓƵ members will be proud to prove their commitment to high standards. Alternatively, you can call us on 01452 623110 to check the membership status of a salon or treatment provider.
Use our ‘Locate your nearest salon’ tool to find your nearest qualified, verified and insured ľ¹ÏÊÓƵ therapist, or look out for our window sticker or certificate in your local salon.
