TS 7891

TS 7891 is a standard concerned with the general rules for hairdressing and barber workplaces. Its subject is the way the salon is arranged and run, covering layout, physical characteristics, technical equipment, environmental health, and personnel-related conditions. In practical terms, it focuses on the workplace conditions that support orderly, hygienic, and efficient service delivery. The scope excludes businesses offering beauty treatments, waxing, epilation, manicure, and pedicure services.

Workplace layout and service flow

In hairdressing and barber salons, spatial organisation, customer reception, separation of work areas, and the positioning of equipment all affect service quality and operating efficiency. Circulation space, work stations, cleanliness routines, lighting, ventilation, and water use are all important in day-to-day practice. From a general technical perspective, a well-planned salon helps staff work more effectively while also supporting customer comfort and an orderly environment.

Technical equipment, environmental health, and personnel conditions

A key aspect of this standard is that it addresses salons not only as physical spaces but also as workplaces that should operate within an organised management framework. Technical equipment, in general terms, relates to the suitability, maintenance, and workplace fit of the tools and devices used in service delivery. The environmental health and personnel aspect provides a broad framework for hygiene, cleaning, waste handling, working conditions, and the provision of an environment in which staff can carry out their duties properly. The referenced national legislation and related standards form an important context for how this field is regulated.
