Gareth Penn- Registrar- Hair & Barber Council

Gareth has worked in the hairdressing industry for 25 years and is the Managing Director of Good Salon Guide and since March 2023 is also the CEO / Registrar of the Hair and Barber Council.

Working alongside politicians and the civil service to lobby for our sector the Hair and Barber Council's mandate is to amend the current voluntary Act of Parliament to that of mandatory and Gareth is fully committed to making sure our industry receives the respect and professionalism it deserves.

Part of this process is to make the Hair and Barber Council 'fit for the fight' and so Gareth is creating the processes and infrastructure around regulation to not only prove that it is needed but that we will be stronger with mandatory regulation.
