Hairdressers and stylists demanded from the Moscow authorities to give an exact date for the opening of salons. Association of entrepreneurs of the beauty industry complains about the uncertainty on the removal of restrictions. As they say, market participants, they have sent hundreds of requests to various authorities, and letters to officials, but the dialogue fails. In the end, the master is forced to decide the issue of jobs, and many make decisions to work illegally, that is, to come to the clients home in private.The industry employed millions of workers, approximately 1% of the population of the country, said the founder of the image-lab “Persona” and member of the Board of the Association of entrepreneurs of the beauty industry Igor Stoyanov. According to him, if Moscow showrooms will be opened in early June, will be able to revive most of the players:”I did not use the services through aggregators and was not summoned to the house of any master. But two months later, and the masters, and customers, there is an urgent need for the services of a beauty salon. That is why we were asked to focus on us and focus more accurately.
Our call was the 1st day open. We then, in principle, to pass even with the help there is today in the form of compensation grants for the salary, we can save 70% of the industry.”Association of entrepreneurs in the beauty industry started in social networks flashmob with the hashtag #bezopasnosti. Master of salons and their clients urged not to use the services of specialists at home and to wait, when will open salons.The situation with the beauty industry in Moscow recently, said the mayor Sergey Sobyanin. He stressed that it is necessary to correctly assess the threat of coronavirus, and advised to look in the intensive care departments of hospitals. Then there will be clear priorities, and “no hairdressers, no one died,” concluded the mayor.Now officials just do not respond to questions of business, said Vice-President of the Association “non-commercial partnership “OPORA”” Vladlen Maksimov:”I think it’s due to the fact that many such requests, and the officials themselves were allowed not to respond to them. On the other hand, probably, the government also understands that to keep a closed infinite time such a huge number of objects of economic life is also impossible, because there all going to die literally and figuratively. Another trade opened, actually. Probably a beauty at all, so to speak, respect for colleagues must be open before the trade, perhaps, catering and services”.Still not all door knocking, responded to the request to “Kommersant FM” in the Moscow chamber of Commerce and industry. There are players in the beauty industry advised me not to wait for answers from the authorities, and to take the initiative in their own hands and make your own plan out of quarantine. These proposals need whenout to the house, where they promise to organize a dialogue with the city, said the MCCI President Vladimir Platonov said:”We are from the Moscow chamber of Commerce and industry are drafting a proposal to the headquarters on matters relating to dry cleaners, laundries. That is exactly the same and in the salons. On the part of entrepreneurs can be suggestions that we reduce the number of seats, the distance 1.5-2 meters, we measure the temperature workers, workers in masks, all the disinfecting liquid is, we establish an electronic record that do not overlap. So offhand I would say that you can do. I’m sure those conversations that we can arrange, there may be more offers made, more wishes”.After the salons will be able to accept clients, the principle of work there is much to change. The CPS has published a list of recommendations, most of which boil down to common sanitary processing of premises and instruments and to limit contacts between master and client. Market players say that all these little requirements are feasible, they will also make services much more expensive salons.Svetlana Belova
