This London hairdresser has spent thousands on a refit to make sure it can reopen safely

With hair salons and barbers being closed since lockdown began on 24 March many of us are getting desperate for a haircut.

This salon in London has spent thousands of pounds on a refit that has reduced the number of chairs by a third to make sure they can operate at a safe social distance.

The Department of Business has told Radio 1 Newsbeat that 4 July remains the earliest date they can reopen in England, and that will be subject to what the science says about coronavirus at the time.
