Prime beauty salons and wellness service providers have requested the Maharashtra government to permit them to reopen their establishments to protect jobs and arrest huge losses. According to PTI, the state is the single largest market for the beauty and wellness industry in the country. Big brands like Enrich Salons, Jean-Claude Biguine (JCB Salons), Kaya Clinic, and many more have been losing crores of rupees every day due to the COVID-19 lockdown. “It is critical to resume operations now so that we can ensure the livelihoods of 10 lakh employees across 40,000 salons in Maharashtra,” Samir Srivastav, CEO of JCB Salons India told PTI.
