Hairdressers Wont Be Opening Until At Least July, Government Confirms

Reports earlier this week had said that hair salons and barber shops could open their doors again on June 15 if stylists wore “dentist-style PPE” but the PM’s spokesperson shot down the claims on Wednesday.

“That will be subject to scientific advice at the time.”
