What the petition asks
Allow the Hair & Beauty industry to reopen with the correct PPE and cleaning provisions
As there is no scientific evidence that the hair & beauty industry contributes to the spread of covid, we should be allowed to reopen. 90% of this trade are self-employed and have ran out of money to feed there families and pay there bills. The government is destroying the industry and many have already had to permanently close, this is unacceptable. We have qualifications in health and safety and all the correct PPE and powerful cleaning chemicals.
