We hope that @OliverDowden will include beauty, aesthetics, spa and wellness facilities in his announcement on further re-opening the economy this afternoon.

We are not just 'nail bars' and the Government must recognise all aspects of our industry #notalaughingmatter

The nail & beauty industry not only creates nearly 375k jobs, it is also a hub of female entrepreneurs. We aid confidence, self esteem and wellbeing in our clients. #valueofbeauty

2nd article, how #PM neglected the beauty sector, a workforce 90% female in lifting of lockdown regulations. A sector contributing £30bn GDP as CEO @bbeautycouncil said ‘more than car manufacturing but you wouldn’t see MPs laughing out loud at mention of this sector during #PMQs’

Worlds gone mad... oh and we are as high a risk as night clubs and strip clubs too... twats.... let’s open the pubs where we know social distancing WONT happen when they are pissed as bellends @MattHancock @BorisJohnson @William_Wragg @bbeautycouncil

[Danni Simmons ❤✌ @Danni_Simmons1]

Bet @BorisJohnson is loving the result of the first day of opening pubs, my partner got punched in the face and gauged in the eye because of people getting drunk and his job is to enforce covid safety!

And you won't open salons yet.... I despair @bbeautycouncil

Thank you @iamliamkelly - nice to see our industry on the businesses pages of the @thetimes wish it wasn't because of such dire circumstances across our sector. https://t.co/AFfYdjA5fm

Beauty sector angry and puzzled as pubs reopen, but not salons - I have written to the Business Secretary @AlokSharma_RDG in support of so many busineses that have raised this with me.

Laughable.... just laughable... @MattHancock as if going to a nail salon is classed as high risk as a sex place... give over will you!

By ⁦@soniaharia⁩ "Salons and spas have now been classed in the same risk category as strip clubs. Is this a joke?"

Unacceptable that they can't reopen. cc ⁦@MbeMillie⁩ ⁦@bbeautycouncil⁩

Beer over beauty: Why the government's decision to open pubs before beauty salons is misogynistic https://t.co/ZK7wDP6pxf

[LJB Nails & Beauty @ljb_nails]

So I’m confused. Pubs have been described as super spreaders of the virus COVID-19 in the daily Downing Street briefing today. So how can it be safer for pubs to open before beauty salons. This week has just infuriating me more and more. @bbeautycouncil @nhbfsocial

[Factotum @wearefactotum]

An excellent report on how the beauty sector is at the heart of the UK economy and the impact it’s facing. Fantastic work @bbeautycouncil and @OxfordEconomics

So he apologises but still laughed.. we STILL need a date! WE ARE READY! We are more than capable. WE ARE THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY! your actions speak louder than words. It wasn’t just SOME.. It was ALL! @William_Wragg @BorisJohnson @bbeautycouncil

I am sorry that some had the impression yesterday that my question regarding the re-opening of beauty salons was anything other than well intentioned, honest and serious. I have been working with a number of MPs and local beauty salons across my constituency to push for their

To @BorisJohnson @beisgovuk @KwasiKwarteng Please can the government clarify when beauty, aesthetics, spas and wellbeing businesses will be able to reopen.
The industry is #notalaughingmatter and it needs to be taken seriously.

Pity the said MP didn't listen to @JudithCummins 40 seconds. They may have learnt how this Government is presiding over and mocking a 300,000 potential job loses in BEAUTY INDUSTRY .
