YOUR untamed lockdown locks may resemble something from the past, with styles like the perm and mullet coming in and out of fashion.

Cuts and styles are not the only things to change over the years, with the interiors of barbershops and salons changing too.

Some lucky souls were first through the door for a cut and colour or fresh fade when hairdressers were allowed to reopen on April 12, after months of closure due to the pandemic, while others are still waiting for an appointment.

For anyone waiting to bag an appointment and tackle a botched DIY-do, we've taken a look through our archives to 'root' out pictures from a bygone era for a hint of nostalgia. 

Take a look at hairdressers from across the North-East and North Yorkshire:
