MORE HAIRDRESSERS AND BEAUTICIANS BUY A PRS MUSIC LICENCE
74%* more hairdressers and beauticians in the UK have bought a PRS Music Licence in the past 2 years.
The music PRS represents has never been more in demand in this sector.
Music is a key element to creating atmosphere; not only does it entertain and relax customers whilst they are having treatments or waiting for appointments but it helps enhance the performance and morale of staff.
If hairdressers or beauticians play music they need clearance to do so from the owners of that music. PRS represents the owners and gives the permissions needed; enabling access to the world's music in the most efficient way.
PRS Public Performance Sales Managing Director Keith Gilbert said: ‘Many hairdressers and beauticians recognise that playing the right kind of music can enhance the environment they provide for customers and staff.
‘By buying a PRS Music Licence you have access to 10 million pieces of music and at a competitive rate.’
The money from PRS Licences goes directly to the people who have created the music.
Hairdressers and beauticians can call 0800 068 4828 for further information and to receive a quote for a PRS Music Licence.
