Beauty salon bans masks and 'Covid talk' as it claims 'virus doesn't exist'

A beauty salon owner has banned all talk of Covid-19 and the wearing of masks in her shops after denying the existence of the coronavirus.

She put a sign up in the window of Skin Kerr Aesthetics, Hair and Beauty saying the pandemic is b******t.

The manager says she has received threats since taking the stance, which includes not allowing discussion of the subject inside the shop.

She won't allow people through the door wearing masks, report the LiverpoolEcho.

The business even shared a picture of the controversial sign on their facebook page but the beauty salon has been blasted online as cases continue to rise.

So far, 41,554 have died in the UK from the coronavirus, with 1,117 losing their lives in Merseyside hospitals alone.

When contacted a woman who stated she was the manager said she "did not wish to discuss" the poster.

But she then claimed threats of violence had been made against her.

The poster contained a series of bullet points stating: "Covid Free Salon; no masks, we take cash; covid talk is banned; you can't catch what doesn't exist."

The bullet points end with '#voodoovirusisbullsh**' and '#wedonotconsent' and states "please respect the rules of the salon."

Under rules designed to limit the spread of the disease, hairdressers and salon staff are required to wear surgical face masks as well as clear visors.

Hairdressers and barbershops re-opened in July after being ordered to close in late March.

The owner was panned on social media.

One, who tagged Merseyside Police in his comment on Twitter wrote: "Can we do something about this irresponsible business owner - @skinkerr clinic please? Merseyside already hovering just below levels to have restrictions reimposed."

Another person took to Twitter to warn people to "avoid" the salon after seeing the sign, they wrote: "Getting your hair or nails done in Liverpool? Here’s one to AVOID. Nice one guys! Doing a great job at flushing your biz down the toilet!"
