Special treatments licence

If you run a business that offers beauty treatments, massage, alternative therapies or tanning facilities you may need a special treatments licence.

After you've applied

Your licence will be issued once all documents submitted have been checked and verified; an inspection of your premises has been carried out and meets the required standards.

Tacit consent does not apply. Do not assume that a licence has been granted even though you have not heard about a decision.

The licence may also list additional site-specific conditions which are in addition to standard conditions.

If your licence application is refused or you object to your licensing conditions

If you are refused a special treatments licence, or if you object to the licence conditions, you can appeal by contacting Croydon Magistrates Court.

Consumer complaints

We advise that in the event of a complaint you first make contact with the business that holds the licence. If you are not satisfied with their response, contact the licensing team.
