Hair appointments 'double' after Wales confirms firebreak

Phones "haven't stopped ringing" with people looking to book hair appointments since ministers announced that Wales will go into a national lockdown on Friday, according to two hairdressers.

It was announced on Monday that Wales will enter a "short, sharp" national lockdown on Friday 23 October until Monday, 9 November.

Under Wales' firebreak rules, close-contact services like hairdressers will be required to close for the duration.

Salon manager Emma Cavill has said calls "have doubled" with clients hoping to book in or rearrange appointments.
