Beauty treatments registration

We register and inspect all premises and persons carrying out acupuncture, tattooing, semi-permanent skin colouring, cosmetic piercing and electrolysis. We will investigate problems, or complaints relating to hygiene, health, or safety.

See details of beauty treatment registration fees.

We adopted combined byelaws in July 2012 for all beauty treatments. The combined byelaws replace the individual byelaws we adopted on 3 July 1986.
