“2020 has been a tough year for the salon and for the hairdressing industry in general.

“We have been forced to close our doors twice this year, which meant four months without seeing clients. But we were determined that if clients couldn’t come to us we would go to them with virtual advice, to help them have the best hair they could in the circumstances.

“The team really rallied round, making videos with tips and tricks to help clients, showing what could be done with hair during lockdown, including temporary colouring, plaiting long hair to keep it tidy, as well as what not to do, such as trying to home dye.

“As well as wanting to help clients do the best for their hair while we waited for lockdown to be over, we had some fun making those videos, including putting a gown around a piece of topiary and giving it a trim.”

Samantha thanked clients for being patient and supportive during the pandemic.

She said the salon was working hard to fit in as many people in as possible over Christmas and the New Year.

“We are looking forward to 2021 when, we can only hope, our lives can get back to normal again,” she added.
