It's time to put away the box dyes and kitchen scissors, as the beauty industry has been given the green light to reopen.
The Executive, after hours of discussion, has agreed to the reopening of close contact services in Northern Ireland from next week.
Under this bracket is hairdressers, nail technicians, barbers and beauticians.
From April 23, next Friday, close contact services can resume their business again.
This date also stands for outdoor attractions to open, driving lessons and tests to resume and competitive sports to start again.
From April 30, all remaining non-essential retail can reopen and gyms can also open their doors again.
Yesterday, Health Minister Robin Swann signalled the likelihood of a number of reopening dates being outlined.
Speaking at an Executive press conference, Mr Swann said he believes that the "time is now right" to proceed with further easing of restrictions, including some indicative dates.
Referring to frustration with the lockdown which has been in place since December, Mr Swann said " Covid fatigue risks itself mutating into Covid despair".
He said he wants people to have more opportunities to meet up with family and friends outdoors in as safe a way as possible.
"It should also mean getting the hairdressers and barbers back to work, as should it mean more businesses opening and considering even people getting back to their caravans earlier than we would have thought feasible only a short time ago," he said.
