‘IT FELT like Christmas’ – the words of Hayley Wilkinson, the general manager at Harper Fields care home in Balsall Common, as hairdressers returned to give them a cut and make them ‘feel like themselves again.
Everyone living there had been patiently waiting for months – like many around the country – to get their hair styled and were delighted to be able to book a cut and blow dry.
Hayley added: “It is wonderful to see them all so happy, we have really missed our hairdressers – it is fantastic to be able to welcome them back again.”
Resident Thelma added: “I can’t remember another time in my life when I had to go so long between haircuts.
“It feels so good to be back to my normal style.”
