Hairdressers are being offered up to €200 for a haircut from clients, compared to the regular price of €40-€50 before Covid-19

Speaking to RTÉ's Today with Sean O’Rourke programme, Danielle Kennedy said hairdressers are being offered up to €200 for a haircut from clients, compared to the regular price of €40-€50 before Covid-19.

"Roughly €150 to €200 for a haircut compared to €40 to €50, so three and four times the normal price to get it done.

Is it ‘The Federation of Hairdressers’ or ‘The Irish Hairdressers Federation’ .. I think it’s the latter RTE

Covid cut all the way, first test walk down the street and into the supermarket, no sniggering or pointing you're grand

If they open do they expect to have clients. I know no way would I be comfortable been that close to someone indoors, recipe for disaster 😱

Heard on the radio tonight that unless they are allowed open there will be a black market for hairdressers. Prohibition Irish style. 😂😂

That poor kid, shocking haircut 🤣 Thicker on the sides than the top! Better than nothing I suppose, and fair play to the Mam for the effort!

👍

Hygienic places to begin with, and ability to use full PPE absolutely no way they should be left closed !

I hope after this shite is over I never have to hear a word about whether a barbers is open or not again.

This is the greatest load of shite ever, I'm a hairdresser with an under lying health issue. How in the name of God am I suppose to maintain social distancing if the government allow this sector to open earlier LeoVaradkar

I’ve got an idea

Ridiculous. Impossible to be safe when someone’s face needs to be near your face.

No way. It won't work. At my local hairdresser it's a small salon with each seat 1/2 meter apart, and the sinks are side by side. Rotating appointments etc would not generate much profit at all. Instead of asking to open show us what measures you are taking to protect us.

Grooming is a very essential part of life. I’d rather see the hairdressers barbers and salons open than the pubs.

🤗

Demand and supply, back to school for Leo, Harris and Donohoe 🙄

If they are prepared to work safely I don't see reasons why the government would deny such a request.

In Sweden they are open.....All still alive....

One I've heard uproar against by hair dressers is wearing gloves. I'm sorry but if you're not willing to wear gloves, you're not opening. ...

Good, I hope the government takes heed.

I’ve seen some people out and about with artificially lightened hair and no sign of roots - it made me wonder! Now’s the time for people to let go of boring conventions and just be yourself! Liberate your hair 😹

WeeBoycie1 catmcelhmoore denise_neill 😱😱

Some Eastern European hairdressers are available to visit peoples houses for a hairdo, apart from the risk of spreading covid19 I doubt revenue are being paid their share!!

Hey Folks, Funny enough I have been releasing self contained comedy short films once a week called the ‘Isolation Series’ and one of them covers this subject.. Isolation: The Haircut check it out in the link below.. Please like & retweet ❤️

People are dumb.

I only paid 50 for cut and blow dry 👊

At it again dividing the nation with irrelevant stories that are not news. Let’s talk about the planned Mandatory Vaccine.

But ... But ... It'll be a giveaway when you have a good haircut that you broke quarantine. I don't think they've thought this through.

Well then the people needing their hair cut are being stupid. 200 quid.

Sneaking around charging that and getting their 350 too.lololol. hope to god people not paying that ..Leo Gona love that news .you've been framed.

There is no guarantee that people will be flooding to pubs and hairdressers IF they open. People will be too afraid of catching the virus Most were struggling anyway

Who the hell would pay 200 euro for a hair cut to stay at home

Looks like our politicians and RTE are their best clients at least Boris isn't flaunting a new do

I'll do it for €30 😊👍

I hope their hair falls out shame on them

They are mental to try it

State of them, theyre going nowhere special for people to see how their fucking hair looks like, couple more weeks won't matter either

What lies to get the shops open !!

Right call me at the Diet Bar 080-80808 FA

Fuckn idiots

‘A haircut on the black market’ would you be well, some people have little to be at 🙄

Come to Donegal. A dry haircut for men costs a tenner.

If buzzimg your head was good enough for Sineàd O'Connor for many years, it's certainly good enough for the likes of you commoners.

Just shows the mindset of some who are more interested in looks than health.

I was offered €250 for one hair cut on a man it's usually €15 in my shop 🤷🏻‍♂️ everyone else is offering €50 but im not doing any, people need to realise this shit is real

Please remove this tweet before my wife sees it, she cut my hair last week , did a great job, she will be charging if she sees this.

Dont think anyone under 50 is putting their life at risk having a haircut...Thousands wont die if hairdressers reopen....

Saw my local barber wearing this earlier.

How bizarre is this? Imagine being told a year ago that in 2020 Hairdressers would be sneaking around Ireland charging 200 Euro for a haircut.

The mind boggles.

SteveGriff88 😂😂

Selfish fuckers!! Lovely hair to sit in your house!!

Will be great to have a nice hairdo so your family can say how nicely coiffed you look as they put the lid on your coffin. But go right ahead.

Are people mad?

And they society will change

A short back and sides cost 1/6 at Billy Graham’s on Main Street in Cookstown.

Can't believe it. I've cutted my wife's hair. No price for that

Proof we are driven by ego.

Some ppl must be desperate....

Karen spends €200

Sex workers will be re-training urgently.

Everyone likes to look nice/feel good or have a pint but if they are your main priorities you have something bigger going on underneath that you need to sort out

Who is God’s name is normally paying €50 for a haircut ?

Wow! Risk your health and your family's health while paying 4/5 times the price for a haircut.

That's crazy

vanity thy name is....

Buzz cuts all round it is then!
