RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,
We've been chopping, dying and retouching our own tresses
with nothing but virtual tutorials and a little willpower since lockdown first
began well over a month ago, and yet, a set date for the reopening of hair
salons in the UK has still not been confirmed.
This evening Boris Johnson laid out plans for the first
stages of lifting lockdown. This included relaxing the rules of one form of
exercise a day, as well as a phased re-opening of retails and some school years
from the beginning of June. Some hospitality services may be allowed to open
from early July.
But what does this mean for the beauty and hairdressing
industry, which employs over 600,000 people in over 50,000 businesses across
the UK? “When hairdressers and salons were initially closed in lockdown, the
government assumed we were part of the retail sector,” says Millie Kendall, the
CEO of the British Beauty Council, speaking to the Telegraph tonight
exclusively.
“I think hairdressers will be grouped in this sector, but as
Boris said there will be a gradual phased opening of retail from early June, I
think hairdressers may be part of this latter phase of stage two re-opening,
potentially by mid- to late June.
