Anyone still going to hairdresser?

There’s no way you can maintain social distance at the hairdressers.
What is the point of all this action to keep older people safe when they just won’t help themselves.

This is the me, me, me generation.

I’m going to have to come off Gransnet for a while. All this “but I just want to do it’ is making me despair.

I went yesterday, the salon owner is working on his own and only for pre booked appointments. Everything cleaned between clients and he has upgraded masks.

Our home hairdresser is due to come this week. Am thinking, if dry, might sit in garden for quick trim (no colour); same for DH. What do you think?

My got as well just have let the virus run it’s course and killed off all the stupid, stubborn old people. Grrr.

I don’t see that eglatine there are some questioning the necessity, but most have the intelligence enough to understand the reasons behind the need to change our behaviour

Eglantine I was just thinking that I cannot bear one more thread about people wanting to be told they can do things they damn well know they shouldn’t. None of us are individuals at the moment - every thing we do that increases risk, potentially impacts others, not just ourselves. You know we could live in a world that could throw the older and more vulnerable people under a bus to save the economy. But we don’t - most people want us to live, regardless of the financial price to others . The least we can do is stop wittering on about the things that really don’t matter. I just want to be here so that in whatever time scale I can hug again my family and friends.

I’m upset for my hairdresser who I’ve known since she was a little girl - her family unit will really be suffering financially. ( I’ll make sure I give her an enormous tip if and when I next go and if her business survives)

Our district has ordered a complete shutdown of all pubs, clubs, and a long list of everything including hairdresser's. I hope they don't all go bust.

I have (had) an appointment next week. I shall wait to hear from her when she is allowed to reopen.

I had my past shoulder length hair cut into a blunt bob 5 weeks ago, I guess I will be back to long and shaggy by the summer.

If the grey coming through is nice and even I may even stop having highlights/lowlights and stay grey.

Local salons are closing today anyway.

My Mother in laws (87) main worry when we told her she must stay in and not have visitors was ‘but I can still have my ladies in to do my hair and nails can’t I. Not happy with us when we said NO !Luckily on Friday her doctors surgery rang and said there were two local cases and on no account was she to have people in or visit anyone. It’ very sensible now the doctor has said so !
We will be waving through her window tomorrow, taking a flask of tea and conversing on our ‘phones.

No, not going. Actually cut my hair yesterday. Luckily no one will be seeing him for a while......

Husband's hair that should read

Its common sense isn't it just don't go and put yourself or others at risk,I went two weeks ago for a cut and the 10 inches I had cut off will have grown back by the time I go again,I just keep trimming my fringe and hope it looks straight enough.

I was supposed to be going to the little salon in the village for lip, brow and chin waxing today.

The staff have sensibly decided to shut down for the time being. Contact is pretty close for these treatments!

I have some wax strips in the bathroom cupboard, bought with the intention of DIY treatments, but so far unused

Perhaps I will give them a go, either that or see if moustache wax is available on Amazon!

I cancelled my hair appointment. I may look like the wild woman of the woods in a few months but I don't care. Rather stay safe

Am I so vain that I’ll risk catching the virus and potentially pass it on to DH who is already unwell?

Nope. Let’s hope the Badger look becomes me, sadly I don’t think it will.

I mentioned this to DH last week, as I go regularly for a colour with foils.

Oh! He said, can’t you get something from Tesco?

Like what? Large brown paper bags big enough to put my head in?

Men......

Oopsadaisy

Just as bread flour and yeast are being snaffled up by people who have previously never had any intentions of baking their own bread, I suppose hair colouring kits are going the same way.

There will be some interesting results when we all finally emerge from our caves.

The family fashionista (DGD1) is now at home with her family - all in self-isolation. Her talents as a professional film make-up and hair artist will no doubt be appreciated. She also makes period wigs so if she gets bored, DD might end up looking like Elizabeth in Poldark!

I'll have to make do with her advice on facetime.

I went two weeks ago for a cut and the 10 inches I had cut off

10 inches Glamm ? Is it down to the wood?

I am quite capable of giving myself a Friar Tuck fringe
(trying to get it straight)

Hairdresser came to my house, we are both well, we both washed our hands, she sterized everything and I bleached everything, when she walked in she could smell it.
The hairdresser put on the high lights, I went up and washed my own hair, she cut it and I blow dried it. Not only was it cheaper but she was with me for far less time. She is also self employed with teenagers so she needs the money.
All precautions taken, house and equipment as sterile as it can be. Also her 70 plus customers have cancelled which she understands.

Dye or die. Harsh but could be the reality. Let your hair grow and give it a break from colour, unless you are a DIYer. Hairdo is not vital it's vanity. Stay home, stay safe.

I did Peardrop and I feel good too. I also feel better knowing that the money is some help to the hairdresser.

I despair, I really do. At least you will look nice in your coffin!
