Anyone gone to get a haircut?
 

I've been hesitant to go out to a barber shop. Has anyone gone to get their hair done? How is the whole process? Do you feel like masks are enough?

Lots of neighbors went and were pleased with the process. My wife went yesterday and was impressed with the process. Masks everywhere, stations wiped down after every customer, gloves on the stylists. She felt very safe. My neighbor went for a haircut Monday morning and he felt they had it all under control. So doesn't seem to be an issue so far.

Wife desperately wants to get her hair done but not sure how safe it is.

my wife went last week to get her hair done...only one person at a time in the salon (it's a one seater salon)...you text when you're outside, the gal comes out and waves you in....she wasn't blow drying the hair as that was thought to be a risk...she was pleased and happy...gal behind us went to the same salon later in the day...ditto, two happy ladies

I've been cutting what little hair I have left myself for the past 3 years....I like the look, but the tips are lousy

The answer to your question: Yes I have @ Cal's at Sumter Landing on Monday.

I tried on numerous times to telephone without success. So I drove over in my cart.

The process went like this. An employee was outside taking appointments, I managed to get one for that afternoon.

They person who cut my hair wore a mask .

Cal's leaves wearing a mask as an option to the customer.

Went like clockwork. :)

I had my hair cut and styled yesterday. Same thing as above, stay in car until texted to come to the door which is locked. Stylist came to let me in. I had to go right to the ladies room and wash with soap and water. Then to stylist chair for hair wash. Then cut and style. Multi stylist salon, all doing the same routine. No problems, masks and gloves on all of us.

Before I went, my husband reminded me that my hair stylist is not a kamikaze pilot, he wants to live too!

Nope. I know my own hair better than anyone and I do a better and kinder job. Found out many years ago. Same with my nails. (I don’t do my own teeth though. ;))

Were the stylists changing gloves and washing their hands between every customer?

Went to the Buffalo Barbara shop today by 466 and CR 101.......Got taken in less than ten minutes..Masks mandatory,, chair wiped down, plastic barriers in between customers. Out of there in 15 minutes.. All great...:a040:

Went to Cal's in Brownwood, hand sanitizer provided for customers, masks were REQUIRED for customers, barbers wore masks and gloves, did not get my neck shaved, not sure if this was due to the new barber or if this was not being offered, I forgot to ask. it was suggested that you make an appointment, but it appeared you could do standby. I was satisfied with their approach.

Once I got flowbee I cut my own hair, let’s see been 28 years now. O wait, got one when I had but brain tumor removed in 2003.

I gave myself a trim yesterday, been cutting my own hair since 1972. My wife said I should of been a barber.

I already had a Wahl "professional" electric cutter w/accessories and I learned on YouTube how to do it myself (with a bit of help from my wife where I can't reach on the back of my neck) and it comes out almost as good as the "pros." I just need to master the sideburns a little better. Takes 10 minutes and I saved $20.

As for gloves, I looked into CALS in LSL this morning as we walked by and the 2 barbers that I was able to see were NOT wearing gloves but they did have masks. I'm sure they used hand sanitizer first.

Hubs went for his appt there Tues afternoon - his stylist even wore the protective plastic full face mask! All clients social distancing outside the bldg waiting for their name to be called. He said it was executed very safely, too. Same 15 min in and out!

I did another stupid thing whilst hairdressers were closed.
Did my wifes hair color for her.
She says I do it better than the hairdresser.
Now I have the job fulltime.

Country Barber Shop
 

I called and made a reservation at The County Barber Shop. They not only did a good job, but I was impressed with the protection: Wait in car until they call you; everyone wearing masks, including customers; plastic sheets between chairs; discard the plastic apron they use for customers; disinfect after each customer. I was happy!

If masks are optional, then how does the fact that the employees wear them make you feel any safer? I go to the Carl’s at Brownwood, but won’t until everyone is required to wear a mask.

On a side note, how can you get your hair cut while wearing a mask? Wouldn’t the straps get in the way? Maybe hold it to your face?

Best to wait another year or two. Should be much safer by then.

The Admiral went to Cal's in LSL , had to wear a mask & bring her own towel--got to see her usual cutter--the greater made sure everyone adhered to their safety protocols before entering

I go tomorrow and do no need mask I am excited

I got an appointment at 6 pm as i wanted to be the last customer for the day. I asked the barbrto change the apron. My concern was the virus could be in the hair clippings. Not a problem,the barber promptly changed it for a fresh one. We both had masks. It was cal's in colony plaza. I scheduled my next haircut 2 weeks out before i left.

Instead of going to hairdresser why not try weight watchers for some of us

Went yesterday
 

went yesterday to “Big Al’s “ in Summerfield, They were busy with every other chair in between everyone check at the door, , they call you when your stylist is ready, I watched total clean up with sanitizing wipes, stylist with mask and you with mask, no mask they will give you one, but you have to have one waited 1/2 hour the owner Julie told me that on Monday with 5 stylist they did 350 haircuts that is something at least now I feel human and normal

Went to cals in brownwood.
Made appt
Checked in
Waited in car
Barber had mask
Good sage process
Everything was wiped down before

I went to Professional hair cutters in Wildwood by the ACE hardware yesterday. Wear a mask, the barber does. Great cut, little wait.

A barber/hairdresser uses their fingers as a tool for cutting and styling hair. I would not expect a hair stylist or barber to wear gloves. I would, however, expect them to either wash their hands or use hand sanitizer between every patron.

Right now is the BEST TIME in my opinion. Not only did I desperately need it , they are scrupulously cleaning AND with everyone having been home for 6 weeks , the possibility that anyone there is infected has to be almost nil.

Went to the Lady Lakes Barber shop on 441/27 and they took care of distancing , masks required 15 minutes and I felt good again and I paid for the cut I got and the cut I missed cause they were closed , they were due it in my opinion

My wife had the same experience and was very happy to be back to her “natural” color.

FRIDAY! At last I can get a cut in VA.

Yes ..my husband and I got hairs yesterday at Cals in Colony shopping area.

Yes. I felt Cals processed the situation very well. The stylist are very fervent about sanitizing their stations and wearing a mask. I wore my mask.

Yes, went well. We both wore masks. And shower curtains between barber chairs.

I went Tuesday to Urban Hair Studio. Stylists and hair wash gals wear masks. Each patron had to wear a mask. No changing into a smock for those getting color. Only one patron at a time at hair stations. So I had color done and was the only patron for my stylist until I left about 1 and 1/2 hours later. I had to hold my mask in place the whole time unless you have a disposable mask which can get dirty and be thrown away. They also had big air purifier machines near each station upstairs ( not sure what the downstairs operation looked like) and they sanitize the entire chair and work area before the next person. Some stylists had patron wait in car and would text them when to come inside. My stylist was outside waiting for me. Felt safe enough to make 3 more appointments! Oh and there were no extra chairs , magazines or coffee.

I was wondering if this virus might bring the "hippie" days back where everyone lets their hair grow!

Could not get through to Cals in Brownwood and when I finally did my hairdresser will not be returning until the end of June. Looks like I will be going someplace else to get my hair cut. Maybe the hairdresser should be looking for a different kind of job If she will not cut hair. Hermit?

Nope
 

I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to go to my hair stylist. Because of the virus or health concerns? Heck no. I gave myself a haircut not to long ago. I did such a crappy job I'm utterly embarrassed to go at this time. Maybe in a month or so when my hair grows back to a point where it hides most of the evidence of the less than desirable self mutilation. Otherwise, I would have been there already.

Cal's Barber is by appointment only....they are cleaning each chair and cuttery before and after each customer. The barber's are wearing masks. Upon entering you wash your hands with sanitizer and upon leaving. I felt very safe and comfortable while getting my hair cut.

I went to Cal's LSL late Monday without an appointment and they fit me in with a 15 minute wait. They had me sanitize my hands soon as I walked in. I removed my mask to facilitate the haircut. All the stylists wore masks and sprayed down the chairs after each cut. I was very satisfied and felt perfectly safe. I also tipped very well.

FLOWBEE! they laughed - but not now
 

I bought a flowbee back in 2011 and use it to touch up my haircut. I use to go see my barber occasionally for edge work because wifey did not like doing that to her man. check it out ! a real hoot -- https://www.flowbee.com/
It works pretty well !
