Deposits, DIY dyes and nail scissor hair cuts

Two Cork hairdressers share what they are expecting when they reopen today and reveal some of the common issues they saw after the first lockdown

"Home colour is not the same as salon colour... you will never get the same results"

Hairdressers and salons around the country are returning to work today and while they are keen to get back to the styling side of things, they are prepared to tackle some dodgy DIY jobs first.

When stylists last returned, they were met with box dyes, alarming roots and crooked cuts. Lorraine Martin of Revo Hair & Beauty in Parnell Place says that for the most part, her customers avoided shop-bought dyes during the first lockdown but notes this has been a longer period away from the salon. She says some have given her advance warning that they tried to tackle some issues themselves.
