Beauty salons and nail bars across the borough are welcoming back clients after almost four months of closure.

Harrogate's independent beauty salons may not be able to offer all treatments, but they are expecting to be busy.

Many things have changed since salons shut in March, so what does it look like now?

The Stray Ferret has been speaking to salons across the district as they open their doors to the public.

 



The Harrogate Nail Bar, based in the centre of the town told the Stray Ferret that bookings are "flying" in.

" We are very busy... People are walking in but we are fully booked as we are not allowed to have as many people in as usual. It feels very different, especially getting used to the PPE but it's great to see my clients again and to make them feel better!"

Masks, Visors and perspex screens are some of the things you can expect to see in salons. There will also be less people allowed in at one time and increased cleaning will take place.

Gone are the days of a cup of tea whilst having your nails done, as food and drink other than water are likely to be banned.

Debra owns Paintbox nails and beauty she told us that they have been "ready to open for several weeks."

" We were ready to open on the 4th July... I think the government finally realised that these companies were ready. We aren't able to do any treatments to the face at all. This includes lashes, waxing, facials but we can do manicures, pedicures, waxing below the neck and massages. We are fully booked today, tomorrow and Saturday with a couple of space in between. Some people are just desperate to get back to looking after themselves and are ready for some kind of normal."


As directly in front of the face has been deemed the highest risk zone by the Government, face waxing, sugaring, eyebrow and eyelash treatments, facials and make-up application will not be allowed until advice changes.
