There’s a black market of beauticians and hairdressers offering treatments illegally under lockdown

Hall advises members or the general public who suspect any unlawful services to report them to the Health and Safety Executive.

The National Hair & Beauty Federation have released new ‘fit for work’ guidelines recommending that even when salons are able to re-open, members “should not offer hairdressing, barbering or beauty treatments to clients at their home.” It’s not just the act of breaking the law which is the issue, Hall also said that the safety of mobile beauticians and hairdressers is also likely to be harder to control since they are “working in an environment where you have no control over safety or hygiene.”“Members of the public are also concerned,” adds Hall. “There’s little point to all the lockdown restrictions if there’s a group of people - stylists, therapists but also clients - who are willing to break the restrictions.

She added, “The people breaking the lockdown restrictions then run the risks of the restrictions being extended for everyone, and it undermines the professionalism of those sticking to the rules.”
