9. My experience at the hairdresser Wed. - 3 days ago.

May 2020

Ohio began permitting beauty salons to re-open on Monday, I believe.
I know my hairdresser quite well, and had spoken with her approximately weekly since early March.
We are both mature women, and the owner of the salon is not far behind. - All past 50, for sure.
I knew that my hairdresser was staying fairly close to her home during this period; she went out for a walk or a bike ride most days, but stayed home other than that.
I let her know, by phone, that I wanted to come in when the shop was nearly empty.
The salon's owner posted photos on her Facebook page showing the installation of plexiglass separators between the individual stations.
I wore my mask, as did the hairdresser and owner, who were basically the only others in the salon at the time. I had a thick plastic cape over my clothes. Another patron came in for about 20 minutes while I was there, and was seated several stations removed from me.
The hairdresser told me that waxing was not permitted as yet, which surprised me, in that tattoo parlors are now allowed to be open.
Magazines or other reading material had been removed.
The services I had were hair coloring, shampoo, light cut, and blow dry.
I was in the salon about 1 and 3/4 hrs.
I felt the whole process went well, and would say that , under these circumstances, one should not fear having hair done.
