Haven’t had a haircut lately?
For many of us, it’s an annoying part of the Covid-19 coronavirus lockdown. For those in the hair and cosmetology industry, it’s meant lost livelihoods and wiped out businesses. Designated a level 1 service, they’ll only be able to work again in the last stage of the lockdown. However, there’s been no indication of when that will be or how they’re meant to survive until then.
While most hairdressers and cosmetologists accept that the close interaction required with clients means that social distancing can’t be practised, it’s the utter lack of financial support from government that’s most frustrating. There seems to be no specific plan made for their survival while they can’t operate.
