TERRITORY women can rejoice — nail salons are back from mid-May.
In announcing his exit strategy from coronavirus restrictions, Chief Minister Michael Gunner announced beauty salons, excluding facial services, would be allowed to reopen from May 15.
Facial services, and laser and cosmetic surgery and tattoo parlours, will reopen on June 5.
The last time people were able to access beauty services was March 25 before they were closed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Mr Gunner said physical distancing rules of 1.5m would still be in place.
“Along with proper hygiene and cleaning, adhering to physical distancing is what allows us to ease restrictions,” he said.

Full speech: Gunner releases NT’s full COVID-19 exit roadmap
“For businesses and organisations that open or expand operations under these rules, they will need to have a COVID management plan in place.
“This will be a simple checklist to show how your venue can adhere to physical distancing, hygiene and cleaning principles.
“This checklist will be available 10 days beforehand – on the 5th of May.
“This is a very important point: there will not be a new approvals process for venues before they open. You have to lodge your plan with us, but you do not have to wait for us.

“We’ll give you a checklist to stick to, and we will expect you to stick to it.”
