Allow the opening of nail bars and salons at the same time as hairdressers

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We, as nail technicians know that we are able to use all the precautions necessary to ensure the safety of our clients. This includes, gloves, screens, visors, masks, sanitizers and cleaning equipment. We would like to open at the same time as hairdressers to get our industry up and running.
Beauticians, nail technicians and makeup artists are all trained to be clean and professional, all for the safety of our clients. We think it is hugely important for our salons to open so we can bring this industry back and also provide a service of well being to our clients. New measures can be put in place such as take temperatures at the door and asking our clients who could be vulnerable to stay at home.
