@Spacrazy That is great news. I wish my beauty salon would open soon. In our state (Illinois) they are opening slowy by area but I don't have all the details.

@Katcat1 I’ve already called to try for an appointment for hair and mani/pedi and they will let me know. Not sure if and when staff returning. Hadn’t thought of that...

Anyone who goes out and mingles with the public at this time is being extremely foolish IMO. Things are no better than they were a month ago. You'd risk your life for a haircut?

I disagree. I am not afraid. I will wear a mask and get on with my life.

@Kachina624 - I plan on staying at home as long as possible even with things starting to open back up.

@San Antonio Gal Me too. I have no plans to go anywhere. I'd love to go to Colorado this summer but the disease is horrible there so I'll stay home.

Adults have the right to make their own decisions without being criticized or questioned by others.

I live in Delaware and the governor has also open hair salons and barbers starting May 8 but only for essential workers. Appointments must be fifteen minutes apart to allow for cleaning between appointments.

Before I step out of my safe cocoon, I'd like to know who's inspecting these establishments and how often. Hourly? Daily? Weekly?

I've learned to cut my own hair and I did a pretty fine job at it. So I don't really care when salons open up near me. I haven't been to one for a hair service in quite some time. I am actually a very DIY person when it comes to beauty. I give myself a better quality pedicure than the salon does. Do my own hair color, face treatments, etc. But for those of you who need these services, I'm sure you'll be happy when you can finally get it!

I wish that more people would listen to the vast majority of health officials rather than to politicians concerned with their status.

@mspatmac I would assume most adults are smart enough to figure out if they post comments here, they're open to criticism or discussion. If they don't want this to happen, they should keep their thoughts to themselves.

@Shanus With the thousands of hair salons, can't you guess? Here the state police have been enforcing the CoVi19 rules.

@Kachina624 How often and how many police can be taken away from law enforcement to check every salon, restaurant, gym, store, bar, etc.? That was my point.

@Kachina624 there is a difference to me between discussion and criticism. I like a great give and take discussion of opposing points of view until it gets personal when someone is criticized for their point of view or choices. If asked for an opinion thats a whole other matter. We can agree to disagree.

@mspatmac It's not a matter of you and I agreeing, the fact is if posters read something they consider clearly wrong, they're going to say so loud and clear. That's the way boards of this type operate.

I had this discussion with a friend earlier this evening. She plans on going to get her hair done at her stylist's home (not in the salon). She claims that her stylist will sanitize the area in her home thoroughly and won't have anyone else there. Plus she will disinfect all tools and wear a mask.

I told her that I felt it was too soon. I explained that if she wanted to go forth with this that she had to understand that there is risk involved. Even if the space was clean, her stylist could be someone who is infected but be asymptomatic and not even realize it.

Standing over someone and working on their hair for a minimum of half an hour could transfer shedding virus even when wearing a mask. I doubt that she will be wearing a medical grade mask.

I may have gotten my friend to understand that there will still be risk and after our conversation I think she's undecided....but that could change.

As for me, I've been studying YouTube videos on how to cut your own hair...once I take the plunge I'll do a little at a time It could take most of an afternoon.
