Make-up artists, beauty therapists and tattoo artists have been excluded from the
hairdressing industry’s court application, asking for them to be allowed trade and
operate under alert level 3 of the lockdown regulations.
The application by hairstylists will be heard on 17 June 2020.
The industry represents approximately 90 000 registered hairdressers and about 120
000 unregistered hairdressers.
According to the regulations, hairdressers will only be allowed to reopen for business
when the lockdown risk adjustment is at level 1.
Some beauty therapists expressed their disappointment that they were not included in
this application as the industries overlapped.
