The news that nail salons and beauticians can reopen from Monday came as a huge relief to Harrogate based salon owners.

Salon owners in Harrogate said they were "thrilled" to be able to reopen. Following the reopening of hairdressers on July 4, nail technicians and beauticians were confused when their salons had to remain closed.

When culture secretary, Oliver Dowden, made the announcements yesterday evening Harrogate salons received calls from their clients immediately as they rushed to book an appointment.

Louis Pedro owns Skin Sanctuary in Harrogate, said:

"I am ringing round clients already. I'm thrilled but slightly panicked that we haven't got much time. I'm excited but nervous, we were ready to open on the 4th so when we weren't allowed I was devastated. We had everything in place but without having a date we couldn't plan much. I'm just frantically calling round to book people in. We can't wait to get back in, I've never not worked so its been strange but I'm raring to get to it."

Some restrictions will still be in place, Mr Dowden said ""Of course that will be subject to some restrictions on particularly high-risk services".

Danielle Currie from Nail Envy, in Harrogate is another salon owner who was pleased by the announcement:

"I feel relieved and so excited for some normality. I've already got people ringing to book in which makes me more excited to get back to it. It's all going to be new with the PPE and visors but we've been ready for this day for the past month. I was devastated when our re-opening was delayed but now I can look forward."
