My first post-lockdown haircut was emotional, exciting, and strangely normal

Full disposable PPE provided by Hobs Salon. Mask is optional for those most at risk or wanting further reassurance.In March I've had most of the coronavirus symptoms and would hate for anyone else to go through the same.

HOB Salons, my go-to hairdresser for five years, eased my worries and I had my first haircut after four months. It was emotional, exciting, and strangely normal.Booking a routine hairdressers appointment usually makes me feel, at most, a mild sense of relief. Not this time. There was nothing routine about the reopening of England's hairdressers on July 4 — as soon as I could, I rang HOB Salons, my go-to spot in Camden, and secured a Wednesday morning slot, when the shop was quietest.

I'd had most of the coronavirus symptoms in March, at the beginning of Britain's lockdown, and would hate for anyone else to go through the same. Psychologically, I've been ready to delve back into public life, but I know that others, who may not have experienced symptoms, feel more cautious. I was anxious about the health of staff and others around me.

The waiting area is closed, so I wait at home for a phone call on the day of my appointment, and, 15 minutes before my slot, it rings: My seat is cleaned and ready. The system is ideal for locals — everyone else has to wait outside the shop for their turn. Expect this to be the norm for post-lockdown haircuts.As soon as I step in, my hairdresser hands me PPE — a slip-on disposable white gown with a hole for my head. I've had the same person cut my hair since 2016.
