Neighbour running hairdressers from her house

My neighbour is a hairdresser, she has a salon in town which is obviously closed at the moment. I’ve noticed lots of cars coming and going to hers over the last few weeks which has annoyed me but I’ve not said or done anything just carried on following the lockdown rules. I was putting the bins out last week and she had her back door open and I thought I could have seen someone sitting in her kitchen with a hairdressing gown on but then one of the DC shouted me and I thought no more of it, but it’s particularly warm here today and she has her back door open and we’ve been in the garden all morning and I’ve seen 2 people come stay about an hour and leave. She sweeps up kitchen in between, I’m assuming they’re having their hair cut but don’t know for sure. She lives with her partner who is bald so it wasn’t him I saw with hairdressing gown on. Should I report her to someone, have a word with her? No previous issues, normal neighbourly interactions.

Rightly or wrongly I’ve reported anonymously online and will leave it to someone who knows better than me as to the ins and outs of the regulations. It hasn’t sat right with me and feel I’ve done what I needed to do, but wanted to check I wasn’t being an hysterical idiot. As to the drip feed and why my job is relevant, it was a specific response to the comment that maybe she was offering haircuts to key workers to make wearing PPE easier.

I think it could be fine if you did it outdoors and both people wore cloth masks

I've reported

I agree. I didn't see this as a drip feed at all. Silly suggestion anyway but if true surely her next door neighbour should have been first in line.

Just report her - your local police will have a way you can do that online.
Then let the police decide whether they need to take action

Oops - I should have refreshed before posting !
I'm glad you reported - I would have too
