I Need a Haircut!

Last week, I did a lousy job of cutting my bangs. But for the rest, I need a professional. How’s your hair faring 8 weeks in?

    If some “architect” was coming at me with scissors to cut my hair, I’d need a stiff cocktail, too!

    My state is going to be allowing hair salons to open in time for my next appointment. I’m not sure yet if I’ll go.

    They’ve opened hair places here, and I got a much-needed haircut after ten weeks. Only two stylists in a 4-person shop, everyone wears a mask, and haircuts only – no coloring or shampoos.

    A male friend said beard trims were not allowed either, because masks have to be removed.

    I felt OK about the precautions, but I can understand if someone else wouldn’t be.

    My hair has finally gotten long enough that I can just about get it in a ponytail, so it’s that or a baseball cap for me!

    My hairdresser opens up on June 1st, I am hoping to get an appointment. However my daughter is also willing to cut my hair too, which might be rather fun!

    My hair is okay for the moment, I had had it cut before going into self-quarantine on 18 March (I am in a high risk group). I would never attempt to do it myself, I would butcher it. I live in a hot zone so salons will not be opening at least for another couple of weeks. I don’t feel it is safe, I don’t care how many precautions are taken. You cannot socially distance in a salon. Not possible. And until we get testing done in every state that provides us with the data we need to know who and where is safe, I will not go out. Those of you brave enough to risk it, I wish you luck and hope you stay well. I have asthma. I can’t take the chance. If I start looking like a geriatric hippie, so be it.
