One East Coast MP seeks to overturn the law banning people from indulging in a cuppa at the hair salon.

It's currently an offence to serve a drink in a salon's service area as it's been deemed unsafe under health regulations.

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

Kirkpatrick says the same law says it's illegal to bring a dog to the hairdressers.
