Hot topic

Should beauty salons reopen in July?

Beauty Vault Chester in Cheshire commented:

“I’m feeling very prepared and my clients are itching (literally!) to visit. Fingers crossed the Government will let us open on July 4.”

Julie Docherty, owner of MissD Beauty in Corby, commented:

“I’m mobile and would happily go back to work as I am one-on-one. I miss work so much and think as an industry our hygiene standards are high, so with some additional steps we could be safe.”

Franceska Sykes, nail technician, commented:

“I’m so unsure at this stage. I think it’s too early to tell. At the moment, it’s not safe for us to return… as much as I can’t wait to go back it’s got to be safe.”

Beauty by Paulina Maynooth, County Kildare, commented:

“I would love to be able to reopen earlier. I don’t think everyone should be forced to close their business for that long as everyone is in a different situation and I don’t think everyone is able to get help from the Government. Bills still have to be paid.”
