Beauty business - what do I need to do if I rent out space in my business?

If you are a registered beauty business and looking to rent out some space, either an area or a chair in your shop, there are two options: 

  • You can agree with the person renting the space for them to be included under your Public Health and Wellbeing Act Registration, which would make you liable for any non-compliances or complaints related to that person, OR
  • the person renting the space would require separate registration under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act. They will need to register a premises by lodging an application

If you are registered at your home, you are able to do this as long as there are no more than two people working there that don’t live in the house. The hairdresser/beauty therapist would require registration with us under the Act. 

 Your space would need to meet structural requirements of the Infection prevention and control guidelines for hair, beauty, tattooing and skin penetration industries.

If you are making any structural changes you should also contact our Building Department.
