Colorado will be opening up hair salons on May 1st with precautions

Screening by taking temperatures? What about asymptomatic carriers, huh? Stylist and client wearing face masks? They do know that face masks aren't 100% protective, right? Maybe 40%. So what about the droplets coming out of their noses and mouths while they're breathing within inches of each other and especially if they're talking to each other?

Good luck to those who feel a haircut or hair color is that important. And thank you for risking everyone else's health. I hope the gamble is worth it.

Wear a mask. Social distance. Be part of the solution - not part of the problem.

I'm in Georgia. I was out this morning so I drove by where I get my haircut, just for fun, to see if they were open. They were not. I get my hair cut at Great Clips which is a chain.

At the other end of the shopping center is a traditional hair salon. They were open.

And just to be clear, even if Great Clips HAD been open, I would NOT have gone in for a haircut.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

@Deree, that's exactly what I was wondering. Plus, my daughter's first symptom was not a fever but was intestinal.

Why aren't they wearing masks?

@NYC Susan , according to the "guidelines," "Salons may want to consider providing masks to clients. Clients should wear face masks to the extent possible while receiving services. Salons/shops should also make use of face shields, gloves, disposable or re-washable capes, smocks, neck strips, etc. These items should be disinfected or disposed of between each client. . . ." (emphasis added)

The NYT ran a photo showing a barber in OK with his mask below his nose. "Some states have taken tentative steps toward reopening businesses shuttered by the coronavirus. In Georgia, it meant a few residents were out getting haircuts and their tongues pierced." What the hey, as long as the razor's out . . .

SMH.

I know the regulations are very loosey-goosey. What I meant is that it should be common sense for them to wear masks. Especially the guys just waiting around. No matter what regulations are. Of course common sense seems to have flown out the window for many people!

I don't understand going from having businesses closed (while people out and about are wearing masks) to opening up businesss that require close contact (and making masks optional). I thought opening was supposed to be done in stages. This just seems insane to me.

One of the barber shop owners requires masks and gloves for employees and clients and the door is locked as haircuts are done on an appointment basis. After the client leaves, the chair is sanitized as well as scissors. The barber shop owner said when you touch a bag of chips at the grocery store how do you know how many people touched it before you; so going to a barber shop would actually be more safe.

Yes, but for sure not every barber shop owner is going to be as meticulous as that one. Especially when the regulations don't actually require much. A lot of those barber shops are going to have customers waiting in close proximity to each other with no masks. That's exactly what should not be happening.

And I also think being up close to someone's face is different than touching a bag of potato chips. When I buy a bag of chips, I clean it off, wash my hands, and let it sit for a few days. That seems a lot safer to me than being in a barber shop or beauty salon situation with close breathing and touching and other people in close proximity.

If they were going to move forward with this, they should have had regulations that actually had solid requirements rather than suggestions.
