The NHBF Assured Trade Membership represents the gold standard for businesses serving the hair and beauty sector. Through rigorous quality assurance standards and comprehensive vetting processes, this exclusive membership enhances your credibility and recognition in the industry. 

What is NHBF Assured Trade Membership? 

Think of it as similar to Checkatrade, TrustMark, or SafeContractor for the hair, beauty, and aesthetics sector – but with an even more focused approach. NHBF Assured Trade Membership is a verification scheme that thoroughly checks hair and beauty suppliers, manufacturers, training providers, and sector organisations before awarding them our trusted digital credit.
