Hairdressers and barbers have been closed since the beginning of lockdown in March and are reopening for the first time today. However, new social distancing measures have had to be implemented to stop the spread of the virus.
Inside salons, perspex screens, floor markings, face coverings and guidelines are in place to ensure they are as safe as possible for reopening. Take a look inside some salons across the Capital as they reopen.
