Completed petition Support SMEs in hair and beauty industry during local lockdowns

We SMEs are heavily impacted by local lockdowns.

By preventing clients from entering a contained and sanitary space (covid compliant as per Welsh Gov guidelines) you are hindering our client bases from visiting.

This has a detrimental effect on our businesses which if continued will be catastrophic.

More details

We in the hair and beauty industry are safe

We check temperatures.
We adhere to full PPE.
We ensure a one in one out appointment system.

Despite this local lockdowns are reducing our client bases up to 80%.

We still have full utilities, salaries and rents to pay.

We are allowed to enter a clients home in a lockdown area which is not safe according to PHW but they are not allowed to enter our salons.

We need the Welsh Government to recognise us as a safe and regulated industry.

We have as an industry worked hard to ensure our salons are safe , compliant, sanitary and safe for the public to enter.
