More details

As one of the most sterile environments after medical settings, we petition to reopen beauty salons & clinics with strict safety measures in place to allow businesses to provide much needed and wanted beauty treatments to the public safely, whilst contributing back to the state of the economy as one of the biggest industries within the UK.
There are lots of actions that can take place within clinics to ensure guidelines are followed.
