Hairdressing Council
The Hairdressing Council of Ireland (‘The Council’) was set up as an organisation to have a fresh approach to what was needed within the industry then and going forward. Progressive thinkers, with open minds and a selfl ess interest came together and formed the fi rst executive committee under President Bridget Haren.

Since then, the Council have repersentated 2500+ hairdressers at every occasion possible for industry betterment, including attending meetings with government and local representatives. We successfully protested against the VAT rise, we have completed our own surveys and supplied information and data for surveys to others. We were signed in as the lead industry body for the new Hairdressing Apprenticeship when it was formed and are Guardians of the Apprenticeship with others now. We encourage salon owners to support the Apprenticeship and we promote Hairdressing as a real career choice with our future prospects now fi nally on the National Educational Framework. We communicate, foster and encourage junior Council members who are the voices of the future, we mentor and manage Team Ireland members and are a member of OMC the World Hairdressing Organisation. We liaise with all industry groups and we encourage the wellbeing and safety of all our industry. We affi liated with HABIC since its inception and encourage hairdressers (and beauty/barbers/nail /spa industry) to support them also. We also are affi liated with Irish Hairdresser Magazine.
