The owners of Lavender Hill in Cleethorpes say it's heart-breaking that they have to close their doors again for the for see able future.
It comes after Boris Johnson announced on Saturday, that pubs, restaurants, gyms. non-essential shops and places of worship will close, but schools, colleges and universities can stay open.
Nicola Parker, a co-owner said:
"It was going to be expected the way cases were getting higher and higher, we totally understand this has to happen."
"It's soul destroying for us, and it's hard for us, but we've got to do what we've got to do, and we've got to fight the virus, and we'll stand-by and do everything possible that we can do."
This years been particularly difficult for the salon. When they re-opened after the first lockdown, they had more devastating news.
A few months ago, it was reported that the salon was flooded.
However, great community spirit was shown when Mark Smith, the owner of HairSmiths on St Peter's Avenue, offered up two chairs for the ladies at Lavender Hill to use, so they can keep their business going, whilst the salon is damaged.
They hope they'll be back into the salon in January.
Despite, a difficult eight months, and more challenging months ahead, the owners of the salon are keeping their spirits high.
Nicola Parker said:
"Nobody has had anything to look forward too, and I just don't know when it will get better."
"Everything that has gone on is devastating for us, and I'm sure it is for every other salon owner and every other small business owner that's non-essential that's having to close."
"But we're going to work through this and I'm sure we will all come back fighting."
"We're strong, independent women and we will come back fighting in the new year."
She says she's pleased the furlough scheme has been extended:
"We know the furlough scheme has been extended for another month, that's all we know up to now. "
"Oh, absolutely, it's good news, it's a great help to businesses, the furlough scheme."
