Does a one-chair hairdresser legally need a fire risk assessment?

Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to every non-domestic premises, regardless of size. A one-chair salon still uses heated electrical appliances (straighteners, tongs, dryers), chemicals and has members of the public on the premises — so a suitable and sufficient assessment is a legal requirement, not optional.

What should a salon fire risk assessment cover?

It must cover your heated appliances and how they are switched off and stored, socket loading (salons routinely run many high-wattage devices on shared circuits), chemical and aerosol storage, the single escape route through a compact floorplate, and housekeeping around styling chairs and trolleys. We give you a written action plan tied to the RRO 2005.

Most salons use our Fast Track tier (£199) with same-week appointments and the report delivered within 48 hours. You can book online in minutes and the assessor confirms a time that suits your salon's quiet period.

Reviewed by Chris Banks, Commercial Director & NEBOSH-qualified assessor · Last reviewed October 2026

Hair and beauty salons carry a distinctive fire-risk profile: heated appliances, chemicals and electrical equipment run continuously in compact, often poorly-ventilated spaces. A fire risk assessment for a salon must cover straighteners, hairdryers and clippers left on between clients, chemical storage, and a clear escape route through what is usually a small floorplate. HawkSwift's fast-track salon assessments are written for exactly these premises and delivered within 48 hours. This page is tailored specifically to psychic & clairvoyant services premises.

Psychic and clairvoyant premises, often characterised by low lighting, heavy drapes, and the use of incense or candles, present specific fire hazards that require careful management under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The Responsible Person must ensure that combustible decorations and materials used to create atmosphere do not contribute to fire spread. A competent assessor will specifically verify that any naked flames, such as ritual candles, are securely positioned in suitable holders and adequately separated from flammable fabrics to prevent ignition.
