Why switch your business energy supplier for hair salons and barbers?

That's why securing the right business energy tariff can have a significant impact on your operating costs.

⚡ Fixed vs Variable energy tariffs for barber shops and salons
Most hairdressers and barber shops choose between fixed and variable energy contracts. Here are the key differences between both:
Fixed energy contract
A fixed contract locks in your unit rates for an agreed period, providing certainty over energy costs and protection against market volatility.
Variable contract
A variable contract tracks the supplier’s changing rates and can be beneficial when wholesale prices are falling, but it also exposes businesses to significant price increases when markets rise.
Which tariff is best for you?
Energy costs naturally increase over time due to inflationary pressures throughout the supply chain, so it is often a good idea to consider a fixed offer. Fixed contracts can save both time and money in the long term and a good energy consultant will be in touch at the right time with renewal options, helping businesses avoid costly out of contract variable tariffs when their fixed agreement comes to an end.
I run a busy salon and so never really had the time to look too closely at my electricity and gas contracts. Russell and the team at Clear Utility Solutions have been brilliant, I had no idea how much I was overpaying until I asked them to take a look for me. They made the whole process completely straightforward, explained all of the options in plain English and found us a much cheaper contract than we had been offered by our existing supplier. The switch couldn’t have been easier and the ongoing support has been excellent. I would happily recommend Clear Utility Solutions to any small business owner looking to reduce their energy costs.

Renewable energy for hairdressers and barbers
Switching to renewable energy can support your environmental goals, strengthen your corporate image, and reduce your carbon footprint. In many cases, green energy costs the same or less than standard tariffs.
Can I have green energy?
Yes, and we can help you make the switch. We offer clear, expert advice on renewable electricity tariffs for UK salons and barber shops, including fully certified green options.
What is a REGO certificate?
REGO (Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin) is a UK certification scheme that verifies electricity has been generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar or hydro power.
When you choose a renewable electricity tariff backed by REGOs, your supplier can demonstrate that an equivalent amount of electricity has been generated from renewable sources and added to the UK grid. This provides assurance that your business is supporting renewable energy generation.
For salons and barbers, choosing a REGO-backed tariff can be a valuable way to demonstrate a commitment to sustainability, which may appeal to environmentally conscious customers and enhance your business's reputation.

Help & FAQs
Can barber shops get cheaper business energy rates?
Yes. Business energy prices vary significantly between suppliers and tariffs. Many barber shops remain on out of contract rates or allow contracts to auto renew, often paying considerably more than necessary. Comparing prices before your contract ends can help secure more competitive rates and reduce operating costs.
How often should salons compare energy prices?
As a minimum, salons should review their energy contracts every time they approach renewal. Most suppliers allow businesses to secure prices up to 12 months before a contract ends, giving owners the opportunity to take advantage of favourable market conditions and avoid expensive out of contract rates.
Can mobile hairdressers get business energy contracts?
In most cases, business energy contracts are only available for premises used for business purposes. Mobile hairdressers working from home may be choose to remain on a domestic tariff, although those operating from a dedicated salon, studio or commercial premises will usually require a business energy contract.
Are renewable energy tariffs more expensive?
Not necessarily. Many renewable business energy tariffs are now priced competitively with standard tariffs and in some cases, businesses can secure renewable electricity contracts at only a small additional cost, allowing them to reduce their environmental impact without significantly increasing their energy bills.
How long does it take to switch business energy supplier?
Most business energy switches are now completed in 2-5 working days depending on contract end date. The process is usually straightforward and businesses should continue to receive an uninterrupted energy supply throughout the switch although we always advise switchers to take a reading on the day.
What is the average energy bill for a salon?
Energy costs vary depending on the size of the premises, opening hours and equipment used. A small salon or barber shop might spend a few hundred pounds per month on energy, whilst larger salons with multiple styling stations, beauty equipment such as sun beds and extended opening hours can face significantly higher heating and electricity costs.
