At a meeting on Wednes-day, Mayor Patricia Chase-Green told all barbers, nail technicians and cosmetologists who ply their trade on the streets of Georgetown that they had to “come off of the roads” and return to the Merriman Mall until the end of July.
Speaking at a meeting, with barbers, nail technicians and cosmetologists from around the country at City Hall’s Chambers, Chase-Green, along with Deputy Mayor Lionel Jaikarran, expressed their discontent after some of the hairdressers and beauticians had chosen to leave the Merriman Mall, which the City had made available for them, to illegally ply their trade on the road.
“Recently the Council have recognized that some of the hairdressers and hair technicians have returned to the streets of George-town. Our understanding is that they might have been aided by persons in the administration, the constabulary and maybe councillors,” Chase-Green told the gathering, while stating that at the last statutory meeting on Monday, the council had decided that they were going to remove all of the nail technicians, cosmetologists and barbers from of the streets.
