The British Beauty Council have launched a new campaign, #OhHelloBeauty to encourage people to return to hair and beauty salons and stores – and help get high street and city centre businesses back on their feet.
More than 7,000 salons in the UK have gone out of business since March last year following the forced closures in light of the pandemic; the British Beauty Council fears more businesses will suffer the same fate unless people start returning for treatments. While many salons and stores were able to reopen on 12 April 2021, they continue to run at 30 per cent less capacity due to Covid restrictions, resulting in more than 3 million fewer appointments than would have been otherwise.
The “Oh Hello Beauty” poster and social media campaign, launched on 17 May 2021 and aims to encourage people to return to hair and beauty salons and stores, by showing how beauty can help people feel their best.
To access the free assets and for more information visit the council’s website here.
The Hair and Beauty Charity are still working to support those that need their help. They had over £250,000 donated from professional beauty expert, Caroline Hirons and the Beauty Backed 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.
