There’s a push to alter New Zealand's laws to allow people to indulge in a tea or coffee while at the hairdressers. 

It's an offence to serve a drink in a salon's service area – deemed unsafe under health regulations. 

National MP Dana Kirkpatrick has added a bill to the ballot to remove the law. 

Rodney Wayne Chief Executive Julie Evans told Mike Hosking the offence is news to them, as their salons have long served tea and coffee to clients. 

She's unsure why it was never brought to their attention when the council conducted checks of salon dishwashers, to ensure they worked to legal standards.
