Cork hairdressers 'almost fully booked out until Christmas Eve for colour'

There's a strong demand for highlights and colour ahead of Christmas Day, but many Cork salons are running out of appointments for customers

Shops, gyms and some restaurants are reopening from today, but many people will be more relieved to walk through their local salon's doors to get their hair in order in time for Christmas. With just 24 days for hairdressers around the country to colour and coiffe the masses, appointments for many treatments are like gold dust.

Santa hats and reindeer hairbands might become the norm around the Christmas tree and the table as many salons in Cork have already warned that those inches-long roots might not be sorted until after December 25th.
