"There’s a lot of things that Black people face that can impact our quality of life, so we need one another – and hair salons and barbers are key places where we can talk,” one salon owner said. @HuffPostUKLife https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/black-hairdressers-barbers-reopen-coronavirus_uk_5f05a9bfc5b67a80bc00f7ec

"If politicians - like @BorisJohnson, @PritiPatel – visit Black hair salons - they’d get an education!” one owner said. “They’ll see a different side, how people really think; at the moment they don’t engage with the Black community."
