The aesthetics and hairdressing sector is on a war footing to demand a reduction in VAT for this sector and that aid to alleviate the crisis reaches them. The platform "believe in us" that represents hairdressing and aesthetic salons have denounced in a concentration their exclusion from the new plan of measures approved by the Government and have requested the update of the list of economic activities that can benefit from direct aid , to include the personal image sector. During the concentration in the main square of Madrid, the aesthetics workers were placed keeping a safe distance and as a representative act of their protest, they have dropped their keys in a box like a grave, representing the closings of their businesses as death of them and that they may never reopen due to the current crisis due to the 21 percent VAT and the coronavirus. The business alliance for the reduction of VAT to 10% to hairdressing and aesthetics has indicated this Sunday, in a statement, that, once again, the announcement of a new plan of economic measures of the Government "generates astonishment and concern in the personal image sector ”. The sector sees how after a year with accumulated losses of over 35% and a decline in turnover of 1,400 million euros, "it remains outside the plan of measures approved in the past Council of Ministers." The hairdressing and aesthetic salons have insisted on the double vulnerability of a sector that is aggrieved with a "disproportionate" VAT of 21%, which does not correspond to it because it is among the essential ones, and now it is marginalized from economic aid for activities most affected by the covid-19 crises. The sector has lost practically 48% of the salons in Spain (8,337) and destroyed more than 50,000 jobs, mostly female, young and self-employed, the alliance recalled. This has been a concentration at the national level where MORE THAN 80 SPANISH CITIES HAVE CLAIMED THE RECOVERY OF REDUCED VAT FOR THE SECTOR OF THE PERSONAL IMAGE
