Lots of good DITY (Do It To Yourself) videos on YouTube! I just ordered a "professional" cutter thingie with 87 different guide attachments! Fortunately I wear a hat most of the time.

This is the trimmer I've been using for about ten years now. It's lightweight, so it's easy to hold steady. It's rechargeable, so there is no batteries or wire in the way. It has the hair guards built in and they adjust with just your thumb and it was only about $30 new.

Even if the barber shop was open, I doubt I would ever be desperate enough to take the chance for a while; until this is over. Some mentioned the chairs, but you have to remember the "batman" cape they use to protect your clothes from the cut hair, and the clippers, comb and scissors that they use on everyone that they service. Of course, they could sanitize their tools every time they worked on a new customer, but how good does some spray actually work? Since we are supposed to keep our distance from others and stay at home as much as possible, I don't think a bit of long hair is going to matter much. I am really surprised that there is any question as to why a barber shop would close down during a pandemic. I am not even one that gets hysterical over this stuff, but I am a bit pragmatic and think that caution is prudent.

Ready! Think about it.

By the time the barber shops reopen, The Villages will be overrun by Long-haired Hippy Freaks reminiscing about the Summer of Love and their favorite Grateful Dead concerts! (Laughing)

"Long-haired Hippy Freaks"

I resent that. No, I appreciate that.

[Satjr35031]

They called me to let me know they were closing and my scheduled haircut first week of April was cancelled I appreciate them for letting me know

[rrlavigne]

The issue I see with golf courses isn't while playing, it's the large crowds at the starter shacks.

[bouwie2]

10 or more people, not allowed

[Yukon9]

We are all doomed! Can you get a haircut from someone who stands six feet away from you??

Edit out - Never mind, I was commenting on a terrific, v. cool 70s picture but now it is not there anymore.

Cals sent an email to their customers on Thursday..... BUT it was from their Spanish Springs and Brownwood shops I did NOT get one from LSL.. which is my usual location... but I understand why they did it.. too close contacts with clients.....

[ellenwelsh]

We need for this to be over. My fingernails are becoming like daggers. I can’t clip them myself because I have this really, really hard polish on them.

The governor ask all non essential businesses to close - while I don't necessarily agree that they are nonessential, most people feel they are. Hence they closed. And everyone is correct they can't keep the six ft distance from client.
