How keen are you to go to the beauty salon?

When they open again, will you be the first through the doors or are you reluctant to risk it? The only treatments I routinely have are eyebrow waxing and facials - pretty hard to social distance! I'm desperate to go but at the same time don't want someone who's been in close contact with lots of randomers breathing straight into my face!

Desperate for a hair cut only

Aquamarine1029 · 18/05/2020 22:04

I haven't been to one in over 20 years, so I don't care at all. My husband cuts my hair! Grin

avroroad · 18/05/2020 22:04

I have never been to one!

FizzyPink · 18/05/2020 22:06

I can do my nails, waxing, eyebrows myself and will probably continue to do so for a while. However I am desperate to visit my hairdresser. I have a mid-chin shaped bob and a full head of blonde highlights every 6 weeks, I’m going to have to start wearing a hat if my roots get much longer

Mnthrowaway20202 · 18/05/2020 22:08

Being the first one through my hair salon’s doors would be the dream. My hair colour looks awful. At the same time I can only imagine how busy they’re going to be so I don’t think I want to be stuck indoors with lots of strangers for hours.

They have said they’re implementing social distancing measures but I reckon they’ll still have at least 10 staff/clients inside at once, if not more.

WindsorBlues · 18/05/2020 22:09

My hair desperately needed cut a few weeks back but now it seems to have sorted itself out, strange I know it probably helps that I can now get it in a ponytail.

Whatevernext1 · 18/05/2020 22:35

I can't wait for a manicure,pedicure massage,hair colour and cut,I book my appointments for the whole year at the end if December so it's torture seeing them pop up in my diary 😂 I normally have my eyebrows threaded and tinted but I don't really feel comfortable having them threaded now so might go back to waxing

Beautiful3 · 18/05/2020 22:36

Mine was due to be highlighted before lockdown. But strangely my roots have grown white so now I have no roots! My white hairs look like blonde highlights. Cannot believe how lucky I am!

AnyFucker · 18/05/2020 22:38

Not at all. I have never been to one.

ofwarren · 18/05/2020 22:39

I don't go to one usually so I'm not bothered

Fairly keen. Hair needs a trim and my eyebrows need a top up (semi.permanent mu). Also I was midway through a course of laser for facial hair which was amazing.. hairs beginning to come through now.

Bathroom12345 · 18/05/2020 22:44

Yes please! I am not high risk and the place I go to has young staff. Not going to happen until July so we will know more by then

ShirazSavedMySanity · 18/05/2020 22:48

Oh my days I can’t wait for my nails done, lashes done and hair cut and coloured. I’ll be the first through the door.

I’m about to return to work full time (teacher) with the potential of 270+ children in the building (3 form entry) so I think one on one with a nail technician will be fairly plain sailing compared to the germ test that will be 1st June.

MustDust · 18/05/2020 22:48

I would have given anything the last few nights just to get a massage so I can sleep. DH is doing his best but I'm starting to get a bit less rational about risk with lack of sleep.

Tramolamodol · 18/05/2020 22:50

I've had Covid19 so I will happily be first through the door!

LochJessMonster · 18/05/2020 22:51

I will be there as soon as they open!
Desperately need a Brazilian, eyebrows and eyelashes!

EmpressJewel · 18/05/2020 23:09

I have a gift voucher for a beauty treatment, but I'm hot sure how that will work safely.

TheTiaraManager · 18/05/2020 23:14

I would love a massage. Feeling tense and stressed and I know a decent massage would oz it!

Also missing my hair stylist, I had no idea my hair was so grey as I've always gotten it coloured Blush

Nicknacky · 18/05/2020 23:18

I’m desperate to get my hair cut, my eyebrows done and my Botox topped up. I’ve decided to stop getting acrylic nails meantime and put the £50 a month toward a new car. I have had acrylics for ten years solid but I’m learning to like my own nails.

And I won’t get my colour done if the rumours are true about not being able to take in a phone, kindle etc.

trilbydoll · 18/05/2020 23:27

I feel like I'm wearing someone else's face. Would happily have my eyebrows done in the middle of a Covid hub at the moment, every time I look in the mirror I become slightly more irrational.

BananaPop2020 · 19/05/2020 00:56

Manicure, pedicure, eyebrows, massage and eyelashes please! I look like a total state at the moment.

blubellsarebells · 19/05/2020 04:06

Very, my eybrows look like basil brushes tail.
I hope i can get in before i go back to work otherwise I'll have to let my little sister loose with the wax.
My hair looks bloody atrocious too but i can put that in buns for work.
I feel for people with roots growing out, thankfully i dont have to worry about that as ive been growing out my grey for over a year already, it was painful but my next chop will get rid of all the fake colour.

FenceFuckery · 19/05/2020 04:08

It’s loosened up where I am, and things are open! I’ve had a mani pedi already, then later this week is a skin treatment session, laser, and a big session at the hair salon. Can’t bloody wait! Annoyingly I’ve not managed to get an appointment at the brow bar so that’s a diy job for now.

Shoxfordian · 19/05/2020 06:30

I really want my acrylics back
My nails look so short and stubby
