I would not underestimate the level of protection, every little bit helps reduce risk..

There was a Missouri hair salon where the stylists and all of their clients wore face masks. Two hairstylists with coronavirus ended up not infecting any of their 140 clients.
One stylist treated 84 clients and the other worked with 56, and six co-workers were also exposed. Forty-six of them pursued testing and all tested negative, while the rest were quarantined for a 14-day period, according to the health department.

Additionally, there were no cases of coronavirus out of the more than 400 other people who were in the Great Clips location during the shifts by the two affected stylist.
