editorial
After a Spring that was memorable for all the wrong reasons, we are absolutely delighted to
present a Summer issue of Estetica UK which is full of optimism and positivity. Uncertainty
still prevails, of course, but both as a nation and as an industry we have proven that in

challenging times, we will come together to face whatever obstacles are put in front of us.
For weeks after many public services
were resumed, hair salons still had to sit
tight - the frustration was palpable, both
for industry professionals & their clients.
Then reopening day arrived. Despite weeks of confusion and woeful lack of clarity from
government over in-salon social distancing recommendations and personal protection
requirements, our industry simply embraced the new protocols - even when it meant using
common-sense to try and unravel what government directives actually required of us.
I visited a salon on reopening day, 4th July - Manifesto in Leather Lane, London, to be exact.
Like other salons up and down the country, they were just doing what was necessary to get
on with what they do best - making people look and feel fantastic with quiet dignity,
efficiency and professionalism.
