The NHBF has welcomed the latest financial support package for businesses, including hair and beauty salons, and barbershops, announced by the government this week as England begins its second national lockdown. However, the industry’s largest member organisation is continuing to lobby for this support to be extended to include a reduction in VAT to 5%, further business rates relief, an extension to eviction protection from landlords and student loan style repayment plans for bounce back loans.
Chief Executive Richard Lambert commented As we enter a second national lockdown in England our immediate concern is that local councils start distributing the grant funding they have been given by the government to support businesses affected by the lockdowns as soon as possible.
Hair and beauty businesses are hugely anxious about how they will meet their financial commitments if they can’t work. Most are likely to have no safety buffer of surplus or savings to fall back on second time around. We are therefore continuing to push for further support to help businesses survive throughout this difficult period.

As parts of the country enter another national lockdown and close contact beauty services have to close, the Hair and Beauty Charity are still working to support those that need their help. They have had just over £250,000 donated recently from professional beauty expert, Caroline Hirons and the Beauty Backed campaign. They are also continuing to fundraise with the charity raffle (see here), Christmas cards, and Give-A-Gift campaign. They have funds available for those people who do need their help; ask them if you need support.
They are a small charity and have to prioritise assistance to those who need it most urgently. Priority will be given to households where only one adult (working within the industry) provides the only income to the household (e.g. if you live with your partner who will still receive an ‘employed wage’, priority will be given to single parent families whose only income is dependent on their hair/beauty industry wage). Visit their website for more information and to make an application.
