HAIRDRESSERS AND BARBERS
LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL (GENERAL POWERS) ACT, 1954 - SECTION 18
Operating from January 1st, 1957, hairdressers and barbers, and the premises in
which they carry out their business, have required registration by the Council.
Byelaws made by the Council to secure the cleanliness of premises, persons engaged and
the instruments, towels, materials and equipment used, came into force on March 1st,
1957,
Contraventions of the Act and Byelaws can attract substantial penalties, and the
Court, in lieu of or in addition to imposing a fine, can order the suspension or the
cancellation of the registration.
Inspections by the public health inspectors of the 80 hairdressing establishments
