Anyone still going to hairdresser?

I really do not think that those of us who are supposed to be socially isolating should even think about going to the hairdresser. It is the very opposite of what social isolation is about.

You can gel your hands to your heart's content; but another person, who may be incubating the virus, breathing all over you (and you over him/her) is just what spreads the virus.

Please do not go to the hairdresser - untidy hair vs pandemic spread - really it is simply no contest.

And when you think of the criticism aimed at youngsters on GN - you can tell where they must have learned it from

Busy bee

Time needed to infect you 1 second
People needed to infect you 1

People you could infect afterwards ?.?

This is how it spreads

Hospital bed needed for you 1
Hospital staff working round the clock because you wanted your hair cut ?
Others who don’t get the treatment they need because you and the people you infected are taking up the resources

Well who knows. Who cares. As long as it’s not you......and your hair looks nice.

I am definitely not going, not going to be asking for a dry cut or anything, I am staying here, staying safe. Enjoying fab conversations with my AC, who have turned this crisis into something very positive. Why would I ever want to risk that special link, all for a haircut. However I have ordered a bit more shampoo

No! We are self isolating and there is no one older than 55 in the house. It is getting dangerous out there. No shopping trips. No hairdresser. No answering the door no matter WHO is at it. No anything.

i have short hair but grows fast and thick i get a DRY CUT every 4 weeks in and out of salon, so no need to have it washed . mybe phone ahead see how many are in at same time as you. my salon is small

For me, I see it as an unessential journey. Stay at Home - Stay safe.

Sorry craftyone I see you were speaking to another poster. My mistake.

Feeling my aged please read my thread, she came to me. Sorry but as a key worker, I cannot afford to pay for things not done and she would not expect me too.

Sorry do not know what happened there.

Like I said she came to my house and precautions were taken. I am a key worker, will go to work Monday and will have to take my chances as the people I communicate with are vunerable.
Every precaution was taken today in my very sanitized home. Neither of us are in the vunerable groups, no cough, temperature, or respiratory problems .

Some of you are lucky enough to be able to stay at home, I do not have that luxury.

Oh for goodness sake, someone can be infected without symptoms and without knowing it.

craftyone you could pay for the booked appointment, but not go. Reassure her of your custom in the future. I hope she receives all the help promised by the government.

I have been on utube. Followed the instructions carefully. I will be wearing a hat for the duration if in the garden. ?

Why do you despair artdecogran the hairdresser drove to my very very clean house. We are both healthy, not in any vunerable groups, her equipment is sterized, we both washed our hands. I washed and blow dried my own hair.
The hairdresser is self employed and the money will help towards her living expenses and rent.

no I am not going, it would be stupid, hence the bands and clips. Biting the bullet means telling her and listening to the sob in her voice

what are you having done Craftyone ? if it’s just a quick wash and blow dry make sure that you both wear gloves and she should really cover her mouth and nose, if it’s for a longer appointment then you should cancel, it won’t do her business any good if you catch the virus from her.

Hair things arrived just now, nice stretch boho bands and a pack of assorted clips, pretty ones and one more thing ordered, things that stretch and tie. I can just see the panic buying and inflated prices in a few weeks.

I did ring my hairdresser last week to say I was cancelling, she persuaded me not to, All clean there she said, sanitiser etc. I wanted to continue to cancel but it was a difficult call, she is upgrading her solo business and obviously money will be tight for her. I said to keep it open.

I am going to bite the bullet on monday. Its hellish for those who have suddenly had the financial rug pulled away

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

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

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.

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.

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

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?
