The licensing requirements for opening a beauty salon and barbershop are not much different from the terms and conditions for any other store.

However, a barber or beautician needs a license, which is very essential once a customer sits in the chair. Local and state authorities govern licensing requirements of salons and barbershops, here are some steps that you have to follow.

Registration
The first step is registration, where you need to visit the health department office (DDHO, Secretary DQCB) along with your National Identity Card (CNIC). After verification, you are ready for the second step.

Inspection
As part of the licensing and permitting process, there will be a licensing exam and facility inspections. The health inspector will more likely to come and inspect your shop (before the three months of your visit for registration completes). In case of any inconvenience, contact the concerned officer of health department.

Temporary license
In the third step, a temporary license will be issued. You will receive a license within the three months of the health inspector’s visit. Display the license in your shop and contact the concerned health officer in case you did not receive your license in the estimated time.

Training
In the fourth step, you need to train and equip your staff according to the required level and degree. Furthermore, the quality of the equipment will also be tested.

Hepatitis checkup
Before the three months of inspection completes, take all your staff along with their CNIC cards to a nearby hepatitis clinic for the checkup, otherwise you will be charged by the health inspector. Keep the test results with you in duty hours.

Permanent license
In the last step, a permanent license will be provided. Health inspector will visit the shop every three months so keep the permanent license in your shop.

These so-called "Poor Barbers" are one of the reasons why hepatitis is engulfing our society. They have zero knowledge of hygiene.

The problem just doesn't end with changing the blades. Imagine a barber himself suffering from a contagious disease such as STD, there is a high possibility of transmission. All the equipment they use on all different customers, do you think it is hygienic to reuse them repeatedly without sterilizing them?

hygienic yes if used on Pakistani as they are immune to disease and rishwat.

Visiting every three months sounds impractical for all parties, it should be once a year at an undeclared date; and well performing salons should go longer between inspections.

Also a better reporting system, add it to citizens portal

You've never seen the guys who go around villages piercing the ears of little girls with a darning needle.
The number of children they must be infecting with various diseases doesn't bear thinking about.

Only in Pakistan will people complain about government doing its job by protecting people from disease and malpractice.

If you are against this, all I can say is to enjoy your hepatitis and what ever else disease you get.
