who Samantha Cusick, owner of three London hair salons (interviewed by Broadsheet about her Liverpool Street salon)

The problem

Rising running costs were pushing toward price rises.

What happened

As reported by Broadsheet: she says it made service sleeker for clients and staff and helps save on overheads without raising prices. She was "very hesitant" at first. No figures given.
