Rejected
17 signatures
What the petition asks
Over 54% of the hairdressing and beauty industry are self employed.You are not allowing us to work until past the 4th July at the earliest. We travel to peoples homes to carry out our work.Some of the industry may ignore these rules if you do not financially help which will be putting many at risk.
We can not keep to the 2M distancing rule that is in place, we are in peoples homes for a long period of time at close proximity and then we move onto the next home. The self employment grant will only last up until June. We can not return to work until at the earliest from the 4th July, If we do not receive any extra help then the rules may get ignored which could put thousands at risk around the UK.Many Trades ect can still do there jobs from 2M apart but we can not.
