What the petition asks
Allow the other sectors like beauty salons and tattoo shops to re-open alongside hairdressers and barbers.
We were under the same umbrella in June and now you have changed it.
We can offer our services following the government guidelines in terms of hygiene and PPE. We only see one client at a time and can follow every single guideline to make sure we are keeping ourselves and our clients safe.
We are all losing money, clients, and our sanity.
Being self employed means that a lot of us fall through the cracks too and are not receiving enough money to pay our rent and bills to survive another month
