Allow beauty salons to open when hairdressers do, if they can do so safely.

What the petition asks
Reconsider the delayed reopening of beauty salons to allow businesses to have the opportunity to put in safe measures for customers and earn a living once more.
Is you can have a hair cut, a beard trim, or your hair coloured (which often takes hours), why not allow beauty salons to operate in the same way with appropriate safety measures in place. Many salons have invested in gloves, masks and protective screens to ensure nails can be done safely.
It’s vital for the economy and the owners of these salons that they have the opportunity to reopen.
If football can go ahead, with people mixing day in, day out; pubs can open where many hundreds will share tables, chairs, toilets and so on, why can’t beauty salons?
