Who exactly will be policing these hair and nail salons to know if any of these regulations are being met. My hair would grow down over my eyes before I'd trust any salon to follow these "rules" especially in areas where the pandemic has not slowed down and is still peaking. Crazy! Salons can open, but if intelligent people choose not to go, they'll be closed again in a few days.
I consider myself intelligent and I plan on keeping my May 6th hair appointment unless the shop isn't open by then. And in my state that could be the case as one can't even buy a packet of seeds to plant in the garden here!
I will feel fine if they wipe down the area....I will wear gloves...not sure about a mask as hair dye and cutting that may not work but we will see. She can wear a mask but I don't see how you can cut hair with gloves on.
Heck she can put my hair color on...use a plastic cap over top...and I will wait in my truck while it develops to keep even less people in the shop. Come in 30mins later for her to wash and cut if need be. Plus she could do someone else's cut in between that way. I am open to may different ideas and I don't see it as a problem to do. I want the owner of this beautiful shop to survive this....and I want my stylist to have a income she needs badly.
I continue to get take outs and tip to help the local restaurants too...I just want them to make it.
Life has risks and we each have to decide what risks we are willing to take. I think this will be very low risk for me.

So you’re not concerned about the stylist breathing in such close proximity to you (since she won’t be wearing an N95 mask)? It’s not the other customers I worry about. I can distance from them, the stylist not so much.
@shoesnbags No I am not....she would wear a mask...not sure what kind it will be...maybe it will be a N95? at this point in my state there are no "rules" yet. I only got a email from the owner talking about the professional company and training they all had for when they get the green light to open. More details to follow.
Again life has risks...if you are not comfortable with the salon's or the state you live in process for opening then do not go out.
In my mind this is a virus...it isn't going away....and more and more studies are coming out showing that many many more people have had it and didn't even know it...no symptoms. In fact I hope that is the case...meaning more people are done with getting it then we know and have antibodies (that hopefully) protect them per Dr. F has stated.
If we are all terrified to leave our homes until a vaccine is available society will collapse and all the small business will go out of business forever.
I'll be there for my appt.
