My hair gal, Suk, who owns her own salon, is beginning a slow re-opening.
She and Jerry, the other guy who rents space from her, are alternating days. Only one of them in the salon at a time, to minimize contact between the two of them and the customers. Plus Suk is spacing customers with an additional half hour in between so she can sanitize everything before the next customer. And of course, she's wearing a mask and gloves, and insisting that her clients do too (she has extra if they come in without) and changing them between customers,
Best of all? She's pulled most of her equipment outside under the covered pavilion in front of her building, so everything's in the open air with lots of natural air flow, further mitigating any potential viral contamination.
She's been hard hit (as many small businesses have) by the quarantine. She just opened this week, and is planning to take customers 7 days a week to compensate for having to space them further apart during the day so she does less business each day.
I used to get my hair trimmed and styled every 6 weeks. I was due for a cut when the quarantine hit. I am one shaggy doggy right now.
I'll wait and see how things go, but I'm considering making an appointment some time in the next month.
