Industry news
PM Boris Johnson last night announced that beauty treatments on the face can take place in England from Saturday 15th August and that all hair and beauty professionals will now be required to wear both a Type II surgical mask and a visor whilst working. Nail professionals can opt for a screen in place of a visor.
All businesses will be required to operate in a COVID-secure way. This means undertaking risk assessments and following the guidelines set out by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), including wearing the appropriate PPE, social distancing, thorough cleaning, and operating by appointment-only. These rules apply to all beauty practitioners in England, including those working in salon spaces as well as freelancers, eyebrow and eyelash professionals, mobile operators, retail and session makeup artists.
The new guidance doesn’t apply to businesses currently in local lockdown who should check with their local authorities on when these services can reopen.
Stricter enforcement is being put in place with much higher fines and greater powers for local authorities to manage. Don’t get caught out. Stay safe and start booking in those clients. It’s been a long wait.

We were very sad to hear the news that iconic make-up artist and founder of cruelty-free cosmetics brand, Ellis Faas has passed away.
Thijs, Ellis’ business partner and brother, said:
Ever since I can remember Ellis had a special eye to view the world around her. With her intelligence and sensitivity, she aimed to inspire also others to pursue their dreams, use their passion, embrace their non-conformity. This not only affected the people around her, but also infused her make-up and photography work with its uniqueness, and it was the basis for the make-up brand she created.
It has always been Ellis’ wish that her ELLIS FAAS brand could and would exist detached from her own persona, and that is exactly what we – our wonderful team and myself – will try to realise. Ellis still had many plans for her brand, and even though it will never be the same without her, we will carry out those plans and thereby pay tribute to Ellis’ legacy.
