Campaigners say beard trims pose barbers shop safety risk; Grow a Yeard instead
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with hairdressers and barbers re-opening in England from 4th July beard trimming is likely to pose a safety risk and should be avoided.
The campaigners say that while it is understood and accepted that after a lengthy period of closure many want to have their hair cut or styled, including Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, beard trimming is a very different matter.
Barbers shops are a confined space that should require a mask to be worn. Trimming the beard cannot however be done while wearing a mask.
The Beard Liberation Front has called on people who have grown lockdown beards to focus on achieving a Yeard instead. This is a year’s growth of beard, uncut although trimming and styling is allowed
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, by all means go to the hairdresser or barber in England now but leave the beard alone. Trimming it is not safe. Growing a Yeard is the way forward
