Blocking teasing hairdressers to offer discounted rates while working from home ‘

Hairdressers are allegedly breaching closing restrictions by working from home, and many offer discounted rates.

The Sun reports that stylists across the UK are bypassing government rules by posting ads on classified websites, including Gumtree, with the Commercial Standards now investigating.

An anonymous hairdresser told the newspaper that they have a salon at home but that they don’t qualify for license payments “so I have to make money somehow.”

They added that they decided to start offering services after clients contacted them, but said they wear a mask and gloves and use hand sanitizer.

“I know it is against the rules, but I am taking precautions and making sure that everything is clean and sanitized so that I don’t see what the damage is.”

Many salon employees have been suspended, and the government pays 80% of their wages while unable to work.

While 23-year-old apprentice John from Newcastle said he had been traveling to people’s homes to get his hair cut for nothing, as he needs practice to pass his level 3 NVQ.

Beauty salons closed along with much of the UK after Prime Minister Boris Johnson imposed the shutdown on March 23.

However, there is no set date for the reopening of hairdressers in the UK.

The UK shutdown is believed to be cut in stages, with small businesses such as hairdressers expected to be among the first to return to normal.

In other European countries, such as Denmark and Spain, hairdressers have reopened as restrictions have been relaxed.

It is believed that the first thing companies will reopen in the UK will be in late May.

However, there has been some concern that hairdressers would have to be closed for six months, as opening them would risk spreading the coronavirus and infecting more people.

The executive director of the National Federation of Hair and Beauty, Hilary Hall, said that her concern was when the salons could begin to operate safely, for their members and clients, and recognized that there are dangers of having such close contact.

More will be known once Boris Johnson has announced his roadmap strategy on Sunday.
