RoI black market in haircuts sees people offering 200 euro

Dr Tony Holohan also asked people not to seek out the services of hairdressers while they are not permitted to open.

Under the Government’s recovery plan, hair salons and barbers will not be able to open until phase four, which is anticipated to commence on July 20.

On Wednesday, the incoming president of the Irish Hairdressers Federation said people are offering to pay up to four times the normal price for a haircut.

Danielle Kennedy told RTE a black market has “erupted” since the recovery plan was published, with hairdressers being offered up to 200 euro for haircuts.
