Impact of Restrictions on Beauty Businesses in Scotland

We would like to provide further facts and data on how the restrictions currently imposed on the beauty sector in Scotland (i.e. no mobile or freelance, no removal of the client's face mask during treatment & only working from behind or side on) continue to impact all businesses. We have kept the number of questions to an absolute minimum and encourage as many Scottish members (& non members) as possible to take part to help us highlight the magnitude of issues still facing so many. This is a totally anonymous survey for statistic purposes so please answer honestly. Thank you for your participation!
