Extensions in Southampton
What it costs in Southampton
Guide price: we do not yet have enough member listings to publish a reliable range for extensions in Southampton. 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.
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
