Two Lurgan sisters have said they have reluctantly had to make the call to only open their salon half the week due to cost of living pressures.
Her twin sister Émer told Belfast Live they are looking at the their energy costs quadrupling in the space of just a year.
"It just made more sense that we had to close on the quieter days and stay open half the week, but it's sickening that we're forced to make this decision. "We're so reluctant to put the prices up, we're not greedy, we carry out a service that we love to do. "They're talking about the cost of living, the likes of the price of uniforms and that and we're in the same boat, we've got families as well."
"Sinead and I have come to the conclusion that if we make changes now and make some savings now, that'll see us through the winter months.
