Hairdresser 'rulings' make a mockery of social distance messaging

[lyhargr_0]

Totally agree, if you a meant to be staying at home, why do you need to attend a hairdresser? Surely people aren't that vain at a time like this?

I've also been struggling to work out the thought process behind excluding hairdressers from the lock down and trying to work out why they may be considered an essential service. So far, the premise I put forth earlier has been the best I can come up with.

Well to be honest, it's a pretty rubbish one.

Probably, but it was at least a possibility. So far, neither you or I have come up with any better speculation. *shrugs*

For a bit, and given this govts history, I thought it might be because "someone" had a vested interest in keeping them going. But even the CEO of Just Cuts has come out and begged them to be closed down. I dunno 🤷🏼‍♀️ 
What other big chains are there and who owns them?

I hope that posters will come together and be as civil as possible.  There is no need to fight and argue, call people names and be abusive.

At this time, people are dying with this dreadful virus;  the very least we could all do is look in the same direction and not at each other in order to be "right".

We're all in this together.

Coronavirus shutdowns don't apply to barbershops and hair salons. But is it safe to get a haircut?
