Hairdresser 'rulings' make a mockery of social distance messaging

[lyhargr_0]

Totally agree, if you a meant to be staying at home, why do you need to attend a hairdresser? Surely people aren't that vain at a time like this?

This discussion is about hairdresser's being forced to work

under conditions which are unacceptable. Only Inconsiderate

under these circumstances.

They are not being forced.

I think you will find they are being forced because they can't

seek Centrelink support unless their job has closed.

Crikey i'm surprised you had time to reply to me with all

 those important life chores and activities you have on your

to do list.

I hope that posters will come together and be as civil as possible.  There is no need to fight and argue, call people names and be abusive.

At this time, people are dying with this dreadful virus;  the very least we could all do is look in the same direction and not at each other in order to be "right".

We're all in this together.

I wish everybody good health and safety at this time of crisis.  It's going to be a really rough ride for a while, and I think we all need to care and support each other for the duration.

Have a good evening all and take care, stay as safe as you can .....

Tas as always respectful and polite a big ask when some are only here

for one reason. Best wishes and stay well.

My hairdresser (who is also a friend) is terrified. She is a recently separated single mum with a mortgage. Her boss doesn't want to be open but she can't just close down because then her staff can't get govt support.  It's insanity to single out hairdressers. I can't for the life of me understand the rational behind keeping them open.

To add to that, I need a pedicure. I’ve just messaged my technician (another friend) to ask how to remove gel polish at home. I don’t get why she has been prevented from working while my hairdresser hasn’t

I've also been struggling to work out the thought process behind excluding hairdressers from the lock down and trying to work out why they may be considered an essential service. So far, the premise I put forth earlier has been the best I can come up with.
