💇‍♀️ PAT Testing for Hair & Beauty Salons

We provide PAT testing services in hair salons, beauticians, barber shops, sun bed hires and so on; you use electrical equipment on paying customers, so both you and your clients need the peace of mind that the equipment is safe.

Imagine if you have a hairdryer that has suffered damage that you’re not aware of after being dropped, or that your nail drier has got a crack inside; that your clippers aren’t water resistant or that your sun-bed is faulty – these issues could all lead to something more serious, and give good reason why you need to make sure your electrical equipment is safe.

We work with many hair salons in the North East, we work in barber shops, beauty salons, sun bed stores and so on – we can help with your pop up nail bar or health spa, whatever form of personal beauty your store deals with, we can help you.

Protect your clients. Stay compliant. Keep your salon running smoothly.

As a salon owner, safety is just as important as style. With constant use of electrical tools and appliances, your business depends on everything working safely and reliably. Our specialist PAT testing service for hair and beauty salons is here to help you do just that.

Hairdryers, straighteners, clippers, wax heaters, UV lamps – they’re all essential, but they’re also potential risks if not properly maintained.

Under Health & Safety regulations, you’re required to ensure all electrical equipment used in your salon is safe to use — not just for your team, but for your clients too.

PAT testing is the easiest, most recognised way to prove you’ve done this.

These are hair dryers and hair straighteners after we have inspected and tested them; we check the full appliance and the full length of the lead as well as the plug to make sure there is no damage before we confirm an appliance is safe to continue using. You’re meant to visually inspect each appliance before you use it; can you guarantee that you do that? Not many people can, so if you are not checking it, and you don’t get it PAT tested, it could very easily get damaged.

See the photo of the melted hair dryer below, as an example of what can happen if you don’t regularly check your equipment is still safe to use.

This is a hair dryer we found in a salon; the gap you can see to the right is the plastic melted, due to the dryer itself overheating. Imagine if you were drying a client’s hair when this happened. This is why it is important to get your equipment checked. Hair Salon PAT testing is important.

Based in the North East? We cover the whole area — from city centre salons to rural retreats, mobile hairdressers to luxury spas. If you use electrical equipment, we’ll keep it safe.
