    We have been speaking to people in Harrogate who say they are "desperate" for a haircut... from DIY colour kits to clipping sideburns, it's all been going on in the district.

    Hairdressers will be allowed to reopen from 4 July - and clearly it's not a moment too soon for many people in Harrogate.

    The Stray Ferret has been out asking people whether they are ready to get back into the chair...

    "I can't wait, can't you tell... look at my roots"
    "I'm walking around with a mop on my head... I had to trim my sideburns as my wife said I looked like the guy from life on mars."
    "I have managed to get an appointment for the 24th July... So I coloured it for the last time last night... I am never doing that again!"


    For over three months people have been cooped up, turning to kitchen scissors, freshly-bought clippers or DIY dye kits to keep their hair in check.

    But now hairdressers across the country are getting ready to welcome customers for much-needed fixes and trims after getting the green light to open next Saturday.
