Hairdresser of the Year Robert Eaton shows how the post-lockdown hair salon will look

As hair salons prepare to reopen on Saturday, Robert Eaton, creative director at Russell Eaton Hair Salon in Leeds, tells Stephanie Smith what customers can expect from their post-lockdown appointment.

Visors, screens and signage galore are the new normal at the hair salon. It might look strange, but these are necessary measures, says British Hairdresser of the Year Robert Eaton, as he prepared the Russell Eaton Salon in Leeds ready to open on Saturday. “The salon experience will be very different, with socially distanced appointments and stylists wearing PPE, but we will still deliver high-quality service.”
