Huge queues outside Edinburgh and Lothians barbers as hairdressing services reopen
In the First Minister’s announcement last Thursday, Ms Sturgeon announced that hairdressers and barbers could reopen with enhanced safety measures in place such as face coverings, floor markings and perspex screens.
Huge queues were seen outside barbers across Edinburgh and the Lothians this morning as some waited on their first hair cut in months.
