Hair and beauty salons have been preparing to reopen with social distancing and personal protective equipment.

The government said they would be able to reopen from 4 July at the earliest but has given no fixed date.

"The team have to wear visors and the clients are going to have to wear a mask. We're going to also take people's temperatures." The Department for Business said: "The government has set up task forces to work with industry representatives to develop safe ways for businesses such as hairdressers to open at the earliest point at which it is safe to do so."
