Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed today (July 9) that beauty salons in Scotland can reopen their doors post-coronavirus lockdown on Wednesday, July 22.
During a briefing to the Scottish Parliament, Sturgeon confirmed that Scotland would be moving into phase three of its Covid-19 lockdown easing as all the necessary requirements have been met.
Hairdressers can reopen their doors from Wednesday, July 15, while beauty salons can reopen on Wednesday, July 22 – both subject to enhanced hygiene measures being in place.
“At that time personal retail services, which have not yet been able to reopen, such as beauticians and nail salons, will be able to reopen with enhanced hygiene measures in place,” said Sturgeon.
This will be welcome news for the Scottish beauty industry, which has been eagerly awaiting news on a reopening date.
