SAVE OUR SALONS

With over 140 days of lockdown in 2020, the hair & beauty industry has been one of the worst affected sectors.

In a recent sector survey, it showed hair & beauty businesses saw an average loss in turnover of 45% in 2020, and as much as 57% in some regions.

As most of you may will have seen since revisiting us post covid, social distancing measures mean that even when open they are operating at around a 50-60% capacity.

When our industry reopens, a temporary cut in VAT to 5% would help businesses recoup their losses and recover. It would also help account for the loss of earnings from implementing the close contact guidance requirements. Only 18% of businesses that would otherwise fail would need to survive for this policy to pay for itself.
