Do hairdressers and beauty salons need a fire risk assessment?

Yes. Any business premises — including a salon, barbershop or beauty room — must have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment under Article 9 of the RRO 2005. Even a small salon with one chair has heated electrical equipment and chemical products that create real ignition and fire-spread risk.

What fire risks are specific to a hair or beauty salon?

The main risks are heated appliances (straighteners, tongs, hairdryers) left switched on between clients, overloaded sockets feeding multiple devices, and flammable chemicals such as bleach, peroxide, aerosols and alcohol-based sanitisers. Our assessment gives you practical control measures for each.

How much does a salon fire risk assessment cost?

Most salons, barbershops and beauty rooms qualify for our Fast Track tier at £199, with same-week appointments available. Larger premises or those with multiple treatment rooms may move to Standard (from £549). The quote form confirms your exact price.

Tanning Salons Fire Risk Assessment

Built for Tanning Salons

Chemical & electrical risk • Small-premises fast track • Same-week visits

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 tanning salons premises.
