 Effect of Covid19 on beauty salons

BY EVELYN COBBINAH, ACCRA

The Covid-19 pandemic has transformed the operations of several businesses. When government announced the restrictions to curb the spread of the virus in March, businesses that provide services involving personal contact were badly hit. 



The beauty industry was not spared with several beauticians closing their shops due to safety concerns. Some of the beauty salons have since reopened but with different mode of operation.



When government announced the restrictions to curb the spread of the COVID -19 in March, businesses that provide services involving personal contact  were badly hit. The beauty industry was not spared with several beauticians closing their shops due to safety concerns. some of the beauty salons have since reopened but with a different mode of operation.




In a research I conducted at Agbogba in Accra, some of their  clients now visit their shops  with their own towel and other equipment  for their hair styling,makeup as manicure and pedicure services. Social  distancing proctocols are strictly enforced together with the mandatory wearing of masks.


The clients of some beauticians who disregard the COVID 19  safety precautions have not taken kindly to their actions.




Despite all these reforms the businesses of these beauticians are yet to bounce back after the pandemic compelled their clients to their homes to find safer ways of taking care of their beauty needs without visiting the salon.
