Forum Administrator Posted May 28, 2020 Share #18 Posted May 28, 2020 I'm in Ohio and need a haircut too. Just because the shops are open doesn't mean things are safe. It only means there are currently enough hospital beds to take care of the predicted number of people who will get sick. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted May 28, 2020 Share #19 Posted May 28, 2020 Laura Lee (from the Love Forum) told me to come to Virginia and she would give me a free haircut.

I wouldn't feel safe in NYC getting a haircut, I imagine longer hairstyles will be in vogue this year. Very situational for sure, and clearly one of those things that can be mitigated to some degree. I could definitely see a requirement for extra cleaning, some kind of mask requirements (barber AND customer), and enhanced air cleaning/safer circulation. Likewise, no "sitting around chewing the fat" sort of thing. I think "outdoor" hair cutting could be a thing! Much better ventilation, greater space to spread out, natural sunlight (even if mostly under a tent), etc, could really be neat and safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinneR ★ Posted May 28, 2020 Share #31 Posted May 28, 2020 Jonathan Van Ness Thinks You Should Let Your Quarantine Hair Grow Tips from NPR: Getting a haircut: Medium to high risk A haircut involves "close contact and breathing, that is extended for several minutes," Karan notes. "This is the primary mode of transmission that we know happens. And cloth masks certainly are not perfect for this." Janowski says this is one of the highest-risk scenarios on this list, because there's no way to keep six feet from someone cutting your hair. "All it takes is [having] one asymptomatic but infected worker and suddenly many customers are at high risk of infection," he says. What alters risk? Landon believes the risk is not terribly high if both you and your haircutter wear masks, and COVID-19 is not very prevalent in your area. Look for a salon or barbershop that has (and enforces) policies to protect its employees, like wearing protective gear and sanitizing hands, she says: "By protecting their employees, they're protecting you, too." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
