Hairdressers' trade group in bid to reopen by end of June

Lisa Eccles, Vice President of the Irish Hairdressers' Federation

The federation which represents thousands of hairdressers, barbers and beauticians will today publish 100 new measures it plans to introduce to allow salons reopen safely in the 'Phase 3' easing of Covid-19 restrictions.

They include the advance screening of customers, extensive use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) for both stylists and clients, full sanitation of workstations after each customer has left and the logging of their phone numbers for contact tracing purposes.
