Coronavirus entry 24: Back to the hairdressers!

So now that hair salons are back open, I finally made it back to my favourite hairdressers, Octopus Hair this morning for a much needed cut and colour. I have been contemplating what to do with my hair for a while as I like to shake things up a bit every now and again, but I decided to stick with simply adding some more blonde in and getting a good cut done. 

There has been much talk about whether or not it is safe to go into salons over the last few weeks, and there have been some strict rules (obviously) around what we need to do to stay safe, but if I'm being honest, I wasn't at all fazed by it. 

Since lockdown, my hairdressers have done an amazing job at keeping their clients up to date with their plans to keep the salon safe and clean and I can't fault them. They have redesigned the salon to ensure all clients are within a safe distance of each other and we have been fully updated with the rules that we need to adhere to. 

Obviously, it did feel a little different given we had to have our temperatures checked and wear masks throughout, but I never for a minute felt unsafe and as usual, the staff were their normal upbeat and happy selves. It was so nice to go back and catch up with them and know that everyone was ok.
