In addition, Belgian hairdressers want more financial support to bridge the crisis. They also ask the government to find a solution to the unfair competition that currently prevails.
“A survey of 1,840 hairdressers, barbers and hair workers shows that 81 percent of them have already been approached to hairdressers behind closed doors. Belgian hairdressers are also losing a lot of customers to neighboring countries. If we cannot open quickly, people will get cut across the border, “said Jef Vermeulen, chairman of Coiffure.org.
Professional association coiffure.org calls on all governments to provide support measures amounting to 30 percent of the turnover of the hair salon, in the same period last year. In addition, the hairdressers are requesting a VAT reduction on services and the remission of the NSSO for the fourth quarter, since the hairdressers had already closed for a quarter in total.
