"We welcome customers from the South." Northern Ireland hairdressers reopen

Close contact services such as hairdressers, beauticians and barbers opened their doors today in Northern Ireland for the first time since St Stephen’s Day. Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill tweeted “Reunited with my hairdresser,” in advance of her Late Late Show appearance. You must book an appointment in the 6 counties to get a short back and sides or a Botox treatment. This time next week beer gardens can reopen in the North. Henry McKean has been in Newry for us to gauge the atmosphere and to see if there has been much cross border travel from nearby Dundalk, since many of us are desperate for a haircut.
