A group of campaigners have warned that hairdressers will be forced into a crisis if they're not given the green light to reopen next month.
The Hair and Barber Council, which represents 11,000 salons, estimates most of its members would be ready to reopen by mid-June.
It said politicians are taking far too long to give salons permission to trade again.
Salons have been closed since the lockdown began on 24 March and ministers have warned that July 4 remains the earliest date they can open in England.
But Keith Conniford, the CEO of the Hair and Barber Council, said many independent businesses want to reopen on June 15 with all other non-essential retailers.
He said: "I have spoken to a number of practitioners I know within barbering and hairdressing and resoundingly they said yes."
The July date applies only in England - with the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments setting their own timetables for the easing of lockdown.
However, the council said all salons would reopen within two weeks, if given the go-ahead from relevant governments.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has set out a series of measures to help get businesses "Covid ready" before opening.
He said businesses will only be able to trade again if their safety guidelines are in line with latest Health and Safety legislation.
These measures include placing posters in shop windows to demonstrate awareness of guidance, storing returned items for 72 hours before putting them back out on the shop floor, placing protective coverings on large items touched by the public and frequent cleaning of objects and surfaces that are touched regularly.
A Department for Business spokesperson told the BBC: "The Government has set up taskforces to work with industry representatives to develop safe ways for businesses such as hairdressers to open at the earliest point at which it is safe to do so."
There is pressure to get the economy moving by allowing businesses to reopen so that the chancellor can start to wind down the £80billion furlough scheme.
