Keep your list easy to read and check where local rules require it to be displayed.
Background and rules: Where the price list belongs
In Ireland the rule is specific. Under the Charges (Hairdressing) Display Order 1976, a hairdresser must display a notice setting out the charges for every service, and the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, which enforces it, applies it to barbers too. If any part of the salon is on the ground floor next to the street, the notice goes outside or in the window, where passers-by can read it; otherwise it goes at or immediately inside each entrance. Its letters and figures must be at least 6 mm high, and the large-print option sets every letter above that when printed at full size. In Germany, section 12 of the Price Indication Ordinance (PAngV) requires a list of the prices of your main services on the premises and, if there is a shop window or display case, there as well. In the UK we have not found a rule that makes a salon put up a price list. The Provision of Services Regulations 2009 do require a service provider to make its set prices available, clearly and in good time before the contract is made or, where there is no written contract, before the service is provided, and information that is easily accessible where the service is provided counts. A list at reception or in the window does exactly that. For the UK, our guide to price display rules for salons in the UK covers the rest, from VAT to booking pages and the products on your shelf.
