A leading chain of hair salons is going to charge customers more to undo the damage caused during lockdown.
Peter Mark's salons are due to re-open on Monday along with hairdressers and barbers across the country.
It says customers may be charged an extra €60 for a "colour detox" if they dyed their hair at home over the last few months.
There may also be a €45 charge for clients whose hair colour has faded since their last appointment.
Margaret O’Rourke Doherty is CEO of the Hair and Beauty Industry Confederation.
She says the added costs are justified;
"For those clients that come in every 6-8 weeks you're not talking about a normal regrowth, you're talking about quite a substantial regrowth which is three to four times what it would normally be so that's an additional cost. You've an additional colour cost there, you've an additional time cost."
