The National Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF) has launched a series of free, easy-to-use checklists designed to support self-employed professionals and businesses across the hair and beauty sector.
The NHBF recognises that self-employment offers freedom and flexibility but also comes with responsibility. Whether individuals are just starting out, already running their own business, or changing their business model, it is not always easy to know if everything is being done in the right way.
To provide support, the NHBF has created four free checklists:
-
For businesses exploring chair or space rental
-
For self-employed chair, space, or room renters
-
For home-based hair and beauty professionals
-
For those setting up their own self-employed business
These resources are intended as guidance tools rather than definitive lists. They are designed as food for thought, helping identify what’s in place, what may need attention, and where to find extra support. By visiting the NHBF website, professionals can complete a short questionnaire and receive a tailored summary, followed by further guidance to help them take the next steps with confidence.
Cathy Weston, NHBF Director of Quality and Standards, said:
“We’re not here to judge. We’re here to support. This initiative is part of our ongoing mission to raise standards, support individuals, and protect the future of our sector by giving professionals the tools, knowledge, and confidence to run their business the right way.”
The checklists are free and open to everyone working in the hair, barbering, beauty, and aesthetics sectors, as part of the NHBF’s ongoing commitment to helping professionals succeed.
To access the relevant checklist please go the NHBF website.
