New report on the plight of the Hair, Barber and Beauty sector as part of The Grimsey Review

 

This highly anticipated review focuses on the increasingly worrying position of the retail, hair and beauty and hospitality sectors.

 

It highlights the plight of our sector specifically, and the lack of support we have been given in spite of the many reports, letters and contacts The Hair and Barber Council made during the pandemic to MPs, Cabinet Ministers and direct to No 10.

 

The report highlights the real need for our sector to be regulated to protect it moving forward and forms part of it’s recommendations to Government.

 

Salons, Barber Shops and Beauty salons/spas are the powerhouse of the high street and Government must now start to seriously listen, support and help us to finally amend the current Act of Parliament from voluntary to mandatory….not until then will we ever be taken seriously as the professional industry we clearly are. 

 

The time is now…..a fascinating piece of work.
