Breaking: 30-minute time limit on hairdresser appointments has been lifted

Government's shock turnaround - by Amy Sinclair

Breaking: 30-minute time limit on hairdresser appointments has been lifted

Less than two days after Scott Morrison announced a 30-minute time ban on hairdressing appointments, the government has scrapped the law. 

The time ban has been lifted after salon owners appealed the law, saying it was impossible to cut someone’s hair in 30 minutes.

A spokesperson for the Prime Minister confirmed the news, adding that customers must stay four square metres away from others while having their hair done. 

The backflip comes after thousands of hairdressing salons were forced to close their doors yesterday, given that most women’s hair appointments take well over half an hour. 

‘Only a middle-aged man who needs a short back and sides every 4 weeks would come up with this rule. I can't even get my hair washed in 30 minutes,’ said one Facebook user.
