Hairdressers and barbers in Scotland can reopen their doors as of today as covid lockdown restrictions continue to ease across Scotland.
As part of the Scottish Government 's route map out of lockdown, a few changes have come into effect today following a switch from a 'stay at home' order to 'stay local' rule on Friday.
However, travel restrictions remain in place, with people now urged to 'stay local', with travelling outside of local authority boundaries still prohibited.
As well as hairdressers reopening from today, non-essential retail is now permitted to reopen for click and collect services, while garden centres can also welcome back customers.

Meanwhile, outdoor contact sport for those aged 12 to 17 years old may also resume from today.
The government advice reads: "Hairdressers, garden centres, car showrooms and forecourts, homeware stores and non-essential click and collect services will be able to open from Monday April 5, subject to enhanced safety measures including physical distancing, face coverings and pre-booking where appropriate. More college students will be able to return to on-campus learning and 12-17 year-olds will be able to resume outdoor contact sports from this date."
Further easing of restrictions are then expected to come into effect from April 26, including the hospitality industry beginning to reopen and the end of travel restrictions in mainland Scotland - here's a timeline for Scotland's move out of lockdown.
