Organisations within the hair industry
Types of organisations
There are many types of organisations you may communicate with or work for.
These could be:
Manufacturers
Hairdressing suppliers (wholesalers)
Salons
Professional membership organisations
Industry leading bodies
Manufacturers of products
Manufacturers are the ones which make the products used in salons. These include Wella, Goldwell and L'Oréal.
Manufacturers can supply products, tools and equipment directly to the salon.
Manufacturers will often allocate a rep to a particular salon to give more of a personal touch. Reps may be able to secure discounts or loyalty schemes for salons who order direct from the manufacturers on a regular basis.
Some Manufacturers will also offer training to salons who buy direct from them. This may be training on the latest products available, or it may be in new techniques being advertised by themselves. This training may be carried out in the salon, or it may take place at the manufacturers training centres.
Most manufacturers will also offer technical support for when things do not go as planned, or if you have a question regarding a client you have booked in. This is normally technical support via the telephone where the expert will talk you through ideas based on the information you give them.
Hairdressing suppliers (wholesalers)
Suppliers stock a wide range of manufacturers products, as well as all the things you need to run a salon day to day (gloves, towels etc).
They will normally offer an ordering service where salons can place an order and then they will deliver.
Only professionals should be able to buy products from these suppliers, and proof is normally required when opening an account.
Most suppliers will stock hair and beauty products.
Some suppliers will also offer training courses. These are usually 1-2 day courses.
Salons
Salons are the place where hairdressing services are carried out.
Although you will work in one salon, it is good to have a friendly working relationship with other salons in the area so you can support each other when needed.
There are so many different salons to work in, and as a hairdresser, you need to decide what type of salon you feel you would be most suited to in order to develop your career the correct way
Professional membership organisations
These are membership based organisations which offer support for salon owners, hairdressers, barbers and beauty therapists. There is even a charity to help support salons. These include:
The fellowship for British Hairdressing
National hairdressers federation
The hairdressers council
The freelance hair and beauty
Hair and beauty benevolent

What can you tell me about the NHBF?
The NHF (national hairdressing federation) changed to NHBF (National hair and beauty federation) in October 2018. This rebranding was done to unify the hair and beauty sectors under one organisation
What can you tell me about the hairdressers council?
Industry leading bodies-HABIA
Habia is the leading body for hair and beauty. They develop the national occupational standards which help awarding bodies develop their hair and beauty courses.
Habia also support salons and provide them with guidance on:
Employment law
Health and safety legislation
Where to access suitable qualifications
They also support training providers with how to deliver qualifications.
Industry leading bodies-AWARDING BODIES
Awarding bodies are who develop qualifications (based on the National Occupational Standards set by Habia)
These qualifications are taught in colleges and private training providers and then the awarding bodies award learners their certifications once evidence they have completed is sent to them.
City and guilds is the biggest vocational awarding body, but there are other ones. The qualifications they provide are the same, the only difference is who awards the certificate at the end of the course.
Hair related qualifications
There are 2 main, widely recognised qualifications within the hairdressing. These are:
College attendance- Full-time
Apprenticeship- Full-time employment with day release
College and apprenticeship qualifications are made up of a set number of units. Most units will be practical, however there will be a few which will not have any practical element to it, like health and safety. Some units will be mandatory, others will be optional and you can choose which ones to undertake
Level 1- introduction to the hair and beauty industry
Level 2- Routes include Women’s hairdressing and barbering. You are employable at level 2 but will be expected to undertake level 3.
