Rejected petition Allow barbers and hair salons to open with current restrictions in place.

Allow the opening of hair salons, with restrictions in place to ensure limited clients are seen. 1 hour appointments recommended (around 10 cuts per day) to 30min per cut maximum, with 30 minutes to clean entire area before next client. Spaced employees and even limited days

More details

With strict guidelines in place, gloves, masks etc, I see no reason why we can't open. 1 client at a time per stylist. No groups of people allowed in. Strict 1 hour appointment times. If you can go to the supermarket or bank and be surrounded by people, I don't see why a barbershop or hair salon cannot open. If a client books in but feels unwell, they reschedule. We have rented properties to support and a grant can only do so much! At this rate, businesses will close and we will be without work.
