A hairdresser from Co Derry has spoken out about the impact almost two years of restrictions have had on the beauty industry.
Valerie Kennedy has at the helm of Valerie Kelly Hairdressing in Eglinton for the past 16 years, but said coronavirus restrictions have made her feel as if she's starting out in the industry all over again.
She said the close contact hair and beauty industry has suffered during the pandemic, and now her salon is only able to operate at 50% capacity due to current restrictions.
