Mental health has never been more important, with many people struggling with lockdown and the uncertainty of daily life. People having the opportunity to take time for themselves, be cared for and be listened to at the hairdressers can make an enormous difference to people’s well-being. Being able to switch off or have some company, even for the duration of a haircut, can play an essential role in a person’s mental health.
