Unvaccinated Young Hairdresser: what would you do?

Galaxy, you say:

"How does asking that question in anyway keep you safe. They say yes and that magically makes you safer?"

Asking the question doesn't keep me safe, of course. It's what I do next once I've got the information. In this case I'm not going back and that means I'm not putting myself in a risky situation.

My hairdresser was very lax at the end of lockdown number 1. I walked out and have found someone to come to my house who takes every precaution. I also open a window. Personally I would not spend time inside with someone who is not vaccinated.

The unvaccinated are not carriers of it!

As lots of vaccinated people have COVID but are symptomless I don’t see how we can avoid it.

I don't go to a hairdresser but the one my sister uses requires masks and give disposable wraps. The staff wear masks and visors as well as gloves and disposable aprons. During the early stages of opening up, they provided and wore shoe covers too and took temps at the door. the shop is quite small and they don't let people in until their appointment and you have to leave immediately afterwards. The owner reduced her number of chairs and had transparent dividers installed before she opened up again.

of course they blooming are. Vaccinated people can be carriers too but much less likely.

Because people lie Northernlass.

A key point in the above article is this:

Given vaccines speed the clearance of COVID from the body, vaccinated people have less opportunity to spread the virus overall.

I wonder why you think unvaccinated people aren't carriers of coronavirus?

Galaxy and Sago : you have a point, of course. However, I don't knowlingly want to mix with those that haven't been vaccinated as I feel it's irresponsible.

Having just said I feel it's irresponsible, I'd like to change that to think it's irresponsible. This is based on coming from a biological science background and having read a lot of research

I’d been planning to get my hair cut before visiting the family for Christmas but listening to the news going on about the spreading Omicron variant, I began to wonder if that was a risky thing to do. Reading your posts has clarified matters, I’m not going to any hairdresser, vaccinated or not. As has been said, anyone can carry it and apparently Omicron is more transmissible. Not having seen any family for 2 years, I’m not taking the slightest risk of spoiling things.

I havent had my hair cut since March 2020. Now I wear it in a topknot. Not in a hairnet as you might have thought. I wouldnt go in a hairdressers its too intimate.
