An explosion occurred at a hair salon in Vlaardingen around 11:00 PM yesterday evening, causing damage to the facade and completely shattering a shop window. The cause of the explosion remains unknown, though evidence at the scene includes heavy fireworks and a loose brick. This incident is potentially connected to a so-called ‘hairdresser war’ previously reported in the Zuid-Hollandse gemeente of Vlaardingen this summer by Rijnmond and AD. The Westhavenkade hair salon had been previously targeted with vandalism, involving bricks thrown at the shop window, as reported by Rijnmond. The motive behind these attacks is unclear, but speculation points to unfair competition within the industry. Reports suggest the targeted salons were offering haircuts at prices below the standard rates, according to AD. Authorities are investigating potential links between the incidents.
