Black market in hair and beauty services has 'prospered' since Covid-19

In 2020, 'the black market in hair and beauty is likely to account for at least 30% of the legitimate sector', according to a report.

The black market in hair and beauty services has prospered since March 2020, while the legitimate industry has been decimated.

That is according to the Hair and Beauty Industry Confederation (HABIC) which has written to the Government to highlight the “devastating impact” of Covid-19 on the sector.
