Rejected petition Give information on when the beauty sector will be able to re-open.

Rejected on 21 July 2020

Give specific information out to the beauty sector on when & how we can prepare to re-open with regards the Coronavirus pandemic.

Beauty salons including nail bars have now been closed for over 3 months. This seems to be the forgotten sector but the beauty industry is worth over £18 Billion. We need to know when we should be expected to re-open so that we can plan, prepare & keep our loyal clients updated. Some business' may not be able to sustain longer closures so this information is imperative to our industry to allow us to make these decisions.
