@stevieb oh my that is perfect! Edward Scissorhands

Here's what I can see happening.

After the client has been screened, (and yes, I fully acknowledge that some will lie) the hair dresser will wear nitrile gloves, and a face mask, and possibly a shield.

The vinyl drape can be washed before being reused, or wiped down with isopropyl alcohol.

As for the towles, obviously use once, then wash, which is what they should have been doing before the virus anyway.

Bottom line is this.

No business wants a bad reputation.

No business wants to go under.

No employee wants to risk infecting themselves, or others.

It would be in the salons best interest to take as many precautions as possible.

Will I return to the salon?

Yes, I will.

Maybe not right away, but I will return.

                           Amen! 

    I do not see one ((1)) thing cutsey, funny or intelligent reading about a vicious killing disease that is unpredictable, VICIOUS, and has no mercy who or whom it attacks next.

              Risk taking! Selfish for others

 Nuttso smarts for these governors. 

 Medical opinion from the beginning. 

.......A field day

        with an audience... here, too. 

Heard that we [all] had things to do,<<<<<??

    If I want an update of the farther southern states for ?intellectualized references / information:

     {a very infectious epidemic}

      ..."shore nuff -it ain't gonna be hare"...............from this second on.

         I will not argue, relpy, or contribute to thinking about a SNL skit.

No other reads, other than factual sources I am to believe

as seemingly close to tried and beneficial- yet. 

Social distancing- short term- is my best non risk health option...as I have learned.

 !!! I have a son out there as a number ONE front liner essential, and a husband taking on 3 days out of 7 among people. 

 Make it a good day ...what do you have to lose?

 I can do medical briefs w/ calls from home. 

I, too, agree w/ @CelticCrafter ,

also along with 

@PamfromCT , @Porcelain, @pearly ..and those whom are taking this Deadly Seriously.

You're assuming all salon owners believe COVID-19 exists and is a real threat. Lots of people believe it's a hoax or no worse than a cold. There are many sources saying that. Some people posting here feel that way. Might want to have a little discussion with the owner and screen them before sitting down in that chair. 20% hospitalization rate...see if they poo poo that.

And if a salon owner doesn't take the proper precautions, customers will stay away, and the business will go under.

That salon won't have enough business to stay open.

People are already skittish enough as it is, there is no way that they would patronize an establishment that did not take the necessary precautions, no matter what the shop owner believed.

To find out a business wasn't protecing them, a lot of people would have to be infected first. Who wants to be one of those people? Why would we need any kind of licensing for beauty salons at all if they could just handle doing everything correctly themselves purely out of fear of losing customers? Or maybe you're against that too. I don't know.

I mean any business could kill or injure many customers before word got out and they lost enough customers to go under. I'd think they'd try to cover it up.

And I disagree that everyone is skittish. You aren't. Plenty of others aren't. They aren't worried at all. Plenty of people who have been infected and died didn't think they would get anything.

It was a calculated political move...nothing more. That's the land we live in now.

When GA and the few other states open, are they planning to have a border control to keep them from going into other states? They can be stupid where THEY live, but not where MY house is.

This is a scary thought....like a communist country....I can't say I would support that.  Perhaps you should plan on staying inside until the vaccine is available that way if others are taking some risks to survive financially it wouldn't impact you or others that feel the same. 

Perhaps that is the only way we can get the economy up and going along with protecting the elderly or those with other health issues.  They stay inside until the vaccine is developed.

@tsavorite   I will social distance, if and when my state opens, I will protect myself however I can. I will not allow anyone to be as close to me as a hairstylist. A haircut is not what I consider as essential as a doctor appt.

@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.

Is your salon going to pay your medical bills if you get sick?

---

As if I would sue my salon. And how could anyone prove they caught it there?  I could have gotten it at the grocery store...please that is silly.

I have medical insurance....and will use it if needed.

I'm glad I just wear my hair long.

@geezerette 

I will be, too, before I set foot in a salon again! Lol I was already overdue when all this hit. My hair is just below my shoulders now and it has been many years since I was that long. 

But I am probably lucky that my hair is straight and there isn’t really anything done at the salon that I can’t live without. I like to color my hair but it is always pretty close to my natural shade. I have to look close to se where it is growing out.

The salon I go to is tiny, just 2 people. If the rules are similar here when things start to open up, only one of them will be able to work at a time. The chairs are probably 6 feet apart but the stylists would often be closer and anyone trying to enter or leave the styling area would be closer, too.
