A leading chain of hairdressers is going to charge customers more to undo the damage caused during lockdown.
Peter Mark's salons are due to re-open on Monday along with hairdressers and barbers across the country.
It says customers may be charged an extra 60 euro for a "colour detox" if they dyed their hair at home over the last few months.
There may also be a 45 euro charge for clients whose hair colour has faded since their last appointment.
Margaret O’Rourke Doherty, CEO of the Hair and Beauty Industry Confederation, says the added costs are justified:
"You're not talking about a normal regrowth. You're talking about quite a substantial regrowth which is three to four times what it would normally be. So that's an additional cost. You have an additional colour cost, an additional time cost."
It comes as some salons plan to add an additional charge of approximately €10 euro to a clients bill to cover the cost of PPE.
