What it costs in Birmingham
Guide price: we do not yet have enough member listings to publish a reliable range for perms & smoothing in Birmingham. We publish this figure only when there is real data behind it.
Is it regulated?
No licence is required to perform this anywhere in the UK. Cutting, colouring and styling do not penetrate the skin or apply light, electricity, cold or heat, so they fall outside the scheme’s definition altogether rather than merely awaiting it. Qualification and insurance still matter, and no law requires either.
Product safety is regulated even though the service is not: cosmetic ingredient rules restrict what may be sold and at what concentration. That governs the bottle, not the person applying it.
Basis: Section 180, Health and Care Act 2022 and the Government's consultation response of 7 August 2025, tracked in House of Commons Library briefing CBP-10331.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which system are you using, and can I see the product?
- Will you strand test first?
- What will this do to my hair if I want to colour it later?
- How is the room ventilated during the treatment?
