Queues formed outside hairdressers as people across Scotland headed for their first professional cut since the coronavirus lockdown.
Rainbow Room International in Glasgow's George Square was among the salons reopening their doors on Wednesday after being closed for almost four months.
Customers had their temperature checked at the door and salon director David Nicolson said capacity has been cut by around 40% to comply with Government guidance on preventing the spread of Covid-19.
Staff are wearing masks, visors and disposable aprons and the number of customers and stylists are limited on each floor to ensure social distancing.
Signs are in place to help with compliance and each area is cleaned between customers.
Nicolson said: "Customers are reassured by everything in place. We contacted all our regular clients before we opened our online booking and people were delighted and happy to be back in.
"We're fully booked up to August 10 but there will be clients who cancel."
Stuart Whitelaw, founder of Mesart Hair, said he had a waiting list of over 3000 clients, with 70 due in on Wednesday at his salons in Uddingston and Great Western Road, Glasgow.
