Speaking on the impact of beauty services reopening since lockdown, Chair Lesley Blair from BABTAC (British Association of Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology) says: " We’re delighted to get everyone working again this is such welcomed news for our industry. We have worked tirelessly with other industry bodies to try and get all beauty back on track. These restrictions being lifted will not only improve revenue streams for beauty businesses, but will give a much needed lifeline for many that have not been able to work in nearly 5 months.

"In addition it helps get people back into work and also boost the wellbeing and morale of those who can now do their jobs, and those customers who are now able to have their treatments done. It cannot be underestimated the psychological effect and feel good factor that a visit to your beauty therapist can bring."
