shootingstar Posted March 27, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2021 I got vaccinated last weekend for lst shot. Am thinking of getting a cut next weekend. Problem is the covid variant infected people are rising noticeably in our area. Last time my hair was this long was 44 yrs. ago. It was also the lst time this year, I was looking at hair accessories in store to keep hair off eyes, etc. Now sporting copper metal colour bobby pin. Forget black pins...I'm gonna enjoy bright metal/colour contrast while I still have the natural black hair. I had forgotten that having longer hair does require more noticeable care to prevent messiness. I had forgotten how much more time, it takes for longer hair to dry.. And alot of hair all over the floor...it must be age causing the shedding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure about my hairstylist...who I like and have been a loyal customer for a decade. She described a trip to B.C. last summer where it just sounded irresponsible..to a wedding, etc. Interestingly the majority of her clients ....are men. I think it's because she has a down to earth style, she's single (in her 30's), etc. She took off her mask, when she wasn't serving a customer because she felt she was suffocating....well the mask was a disposable blue thin layered mask...sort that a doctor's office would give you. Not a N95 that's very tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, could be a time I could try a completely different cut.....which would mean more care by me. I've been spoiled by short hair to bike around and other stuff where I just don't pay attention to my hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted March 27, 2021 Share #8 Posted March 27, 2021 I’ve been getting regular cuts since the summer. I do wear a mask while Steve works. Due for another next Saturday. When I can reach into my hair and grab a handful, it’s too long. BuffCarla starts reminding me 2 weeks after each haircut that it’s time for another. I actually do it every 6-8 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprisingly the barber refuses to do beards. So dearie is resigned to doing himself which has resulted in an odd small patch here and there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted March 27, 2021 Share #10 Posted March 27, 2021 Womaxx cuts mine. I am barely competent to trim hers. A serious cut is beyond my talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted March 28, 2021 Share #11 Posted March 28, 2021 I drove three states away to get my hair cut when shops first started opening last year. My hair is thick and wavy and when it gets too long it takes forever to dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted March 28, 2021 Share #12 Posted March 28, 2021 No need to sneak out here. I have had 5 hair cuts over the last year. Compared to about 6 before the virus. I wear a mask, and so does the person who cuts my hair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen ★ Posted March 28, 2021 Share #14 Posted March 28, 2021 The lady who cut my folks’ hair did/ does house calls. I’ve stayed loyal to her. She came out two weeks ago and cut my hair on the front porch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted March 28, 2021 Share #15 Posted March 28, 2021 I am on my normal haircut schedule which is about once a quarter. I last got my hair cut about 3 weeks ago. The Russian lady who cuts my hair wears a mask and most of the other barbers do as well. When she is cutting the hair near my ears, she unhooks my mask from my ear and has me hold the mask over my face. Her unhooking my mask is surprisingly intimate.

Two weeks after the second you have maximum protection. If you are concerned, why don’t you wait a month? At this point, what’s the difference? I’ve been getting haircuts since last June. Masked, distanced, mostly empty shop. No problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted March 28, 2021 Share #18 Posted March 28, 2021 I asked my nephew to cut my hair while the barber shops & salons were closed. He came to my house but I paid him well and made him dinner to boot. My barber shop has been open for some time, maybe illegally for a while but they are allowed to be open now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted March 28, 2021 Share #19 Posted March 28, 2021 Only been to the barber once since this began and haven't shaved since that day. Both my hair and beard are longer than they have ever been. Not sure when I'll venture out. Luckily, I can just comb my hair straight back and put on a cap. Comb my beard out each morning. Barber did not wear a mask the one time, and I'm not sure any are wearing masks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted March 28, 2021 Share #21 Posted March 28, 2021 After the haircut I had to drive a long distance for, salons started opening up in CT which is where I normally get my haircut. The salon has reduced capacity and a variety of safety protocols including masks and cleaning the stations after each haircut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
