Rejected petition Open beauty salons and tattoo studios with hairdressers on 4th July
We want to be able to reopen inline with the hairdressing profession.
We can use the same PPE as them and stick to very similar health and hygiene regimes.
Tattoo studios and beauty salons are usually very clean and clinical
More details
It doesn’t seem fair that the hairdressing profession can reopen on phase 3 of the reopening process when beauty salons and tattoo studios can’t.
We follow very strict health and hygiene measures and are sure we can be very COVID secure very easily. With most of us already having measures in place and PPE ready to go.
