Bba launches barbershop accreditation

Published 30th Jan 2017
Bba launches barbershop accreditation The British Barbers' Association (BBA) has launched a new accreditation scheme to help professional barbers show they are meeting high standards. The BBA Accredited Barbershops programme will recognise those establishments that have gone the extra mile in terms of customer service, standards, health and safety and training. Barbershops that sign up to the initiative will have to demonstrate they meet a range of strict criteria, including a commitment to staff training. They will also need to show they are compliant with regulatory requirements such as legal coverage, health and safety, and policies on sharps procedures and electrical testing, as well as demonstrating a commitment to helping the BBA to raise standards and protect clients at all times. In return, Accredited Barbershops will be able to promote their recognition to the public through the use of the official BBA Accredited Barbershops logo on their website And PR and marketing materials. They will also have access to the BBA advice line, monthly updates on employment law and business guidance, discounts on BBA training, and a free BBA male grooming kit worth over £50.00 Chris Foster, Director of the BBA, said, ‘Our members had been telling us for some time that they wanted some mechanism to not just recognize those barbershops with high standards, but to encourage others to aim higher and raise the bar across the entire industry. The BBA Accredited Barbershops programme costs £125 plus VAT per year per establishment. To apply, email [email protected] or call 07786 051720.
