What can be done to encourage landlords to bring businesses into their empty shops? And why is it so easy for new hairdressers to get established while it is so much harder for any other businesses.
I think I have the answer you are looking for but you asked the two questions in the wrong order.
"why is it so easy for new hairdressers to get established while it is so much harder for any other businesses."
Simply because you cant get a haircut online.
Who even bothers shopping at actual shops anymore? I think apart from food I havent made a purchase from a shop in around 2 years. I get everything from furniture, to books and computers online and delivered.

Oh I think you know what can be done. Everything comes down to money doesnt it? I'm pretty sure you know a few Landlords that could do with a nice government subsidy.
On the other hand you could get with the times and realise that, the way the retail market is going now, the shops could be useful pickup points for goods or services ordered online. That is the future of retailing. A bit like Argos but where the customer orders online instead of at the premises and the goods arrive a few hours or days later.
Afraid that the old days of going traipsing round shops are long gone
