IT'S business not quite as usual for hairdressers and barbers on Flintshire and Wrexham's high streets today.

From today, salons have been allowed to open, but with strict social distancing and hygiene measures in place.

For Silvana Grosvenor, who owns Salon One 20 in Wrexham and Rossett, today marks the end of three months of being unable to run her business or meet her clients, many of who have become friends over the years.

Since, First Minister Mark Drakeford announced the relaxing of lockdown measures, Silvana had been filling up her appointment book with the names of customers desperate to get their hair done.

Silvana said: "We have had a very busy morning but it was a very calm and relaxing atmosphere.

"It was so lovely to see new and existing clients and get back to doing what we love."
