Freshly coiffed, styled and gelled football professionals are a thorn in the side of the hairdressing guild in times of Corona and closed shops.

The consequence of the pictures is an enormous pressure on the industry and its employees. You face severe penalties if you fail to comply with the lockdown rules. Just like the customer.
