What the petition asks
Rethink the decision on keeping beauty salons closed, the beauty industry relies on customers to run their day to day activities and with limited government support most are small businesses struggling to keep expenses afloat.Salons are more important than pubs and restaurants for mental wellbeing
To help save jobs and small businesses by allowing salons to open with the same social distancing and safety measures as hairdressers. Salons are an essential part of people’s livelihoods, health, cleanliness and mental wellbeing.
