Anyone had a hair dressing appointment yet?

[ssd]

Wondering how it went?

Due on the 9th. Hoping they will have streamline operations somewhat by then.

I’m going 9:00 am Monday- can’t wait! I doubt it will be the usual pampering experience but confident my salon will be as safe as possible.

DH took the kids this afternoon.
All 3 very happy with reduced hair! Queuing outside rather than inside on the sofas. Hand gel as you walked in. Everyone in masks, barber in visor.

10am tomorrow, cannot bloody wait. Have cut my (short) hair twice on lockdown and have ended up with a mullet.

Dh was shorn today at our wonderful Turkish barbers, 4 people at a time all 2m
Distance 1/2hr appts

He came in feeling soooo good

Watching as I desperately need a cut but not sure I want to risk it yet.

Been today for cut and colour. Quite busy. Some bottles of hand gel about but no PPE at all, neither stylists nor customers and none offered.

Need to remember to take myself a hot drink

Next Wednesday is chop day. I’m excited. My hair has gone far, far beyond ‘cutely disheveled’.

I've got one, can't bloody wait.

Booked in for cut and blow dry 18th July.
There was an appointment for next Saturday but I feel better leaving it a while until things are hopefully running smoother and the numbers are decreasing.

Had a cut and colour this afternoon. Stylists all in masks. Hand sanitizer provided. They told me they were booked up for the next 4 weeks.

Yep both of us had one today. Hand sanitiser at the door and face masks provided. Asked not to bring coats / bags if possible and advised no refreshments.

Stand at door on arrival and wait to be called in case someone was at the counter paying.

Taken straight through, gown, additional liner then towel and hair was washed. Stations had green and red on so you knew which was ready to go and had been cleaned and good spacing between stations.

All relatively simple and straight forward.

Mine is in 18 days time, the earliest appt they had and I am counting down! Hopefully by then they will be fully into the new routine and will be running smoothly. It's a very small salon with an odd shaped room so I imagine customer numbers will be very limited.

8.30am this morning. My lovely hairdresser phoned last week and booked me in. In the salon they have put perspex dividers up between the sinks and the chairs. You have to wear a mask, use hand gel, gowns are washed after every use, towels always have been used once, scissors,combs and brushes straight in the sterilisers. They wear visors.
Normal highlights cut and blow dry and my head feels 4 stones lighter!

Have a cut and colour on 25th. I'm a regular so could have had Tuesday but I thought I'd leave it a couple of weeks so she is used to working in all the gear and I feel more ready for close contact. Mind you since the sun has gone the roots are looking far more noticeable and am now wishing I'd gone for a week earlier

Had mine today - it was bliss stickers on floor to show distancing and one way systems, about half as busy as usual. All hand bags coats etc to be put in large plastic bag they gave you which was thrown away at the end. Only refreshment water in a plastic cup. Each customer got disposable gloves and gown. Screens between sinks, stylists in visors, Perspex screen at roll and card payments only, hand sanitizer on entry and exit.

Got mine booked in for beginning of Aug. Prices have gone up by 5% plus additional charges for PPE (regardless of me wearing my own mask and using my own sanitizer). Has anyone else found this? I appreciate why they've had to increase prices but I'm likely to stretch it out to every 10-12 weeks with the additional cost.

Do customers wear masks? I was wondering as kids have appointment in a couple of weeks.

My barber came round this morning as his barber shop isn’t open yet. Hair looks great but I have more grey hair around the sides than I realised!

@cptartapp : They are breaching the regulations then.
AFAIK it is one of the conditions of them being able to open that they wear a mask/visor, customers in masks, as they cannot do hairdressing and maintain social distancing.

Saw a hairdresser on the news, cutting someones hair. Hairdresser in visor and customer in mask.
It struck me that the visor, from the customers point of view, is not particularly effective from a safety point of view.
It would be, if hairdresser and customer at same height, but given that customer is seated below hairdresser, surely any droplets etc from hairdresser, will be "funnelled " downwards towards the customer?

Standard barber for my son, 5 chairs in a row, no partitioning and prob 2mtr apart,10 waiting chairs with every other one used, no appointment, no track an trace, no queue, constantly busy, barbers wesring masks and keeping it clean but no masks for customers, happy son after refusing mum doing it with clippers and looking very disheveled

I couldn't get a place at my fancy curly place until August but my partner got his done today. It was like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders - he's been so down and self conscious saying he looks a mess. Nice to see a smile on his face!

I’m going on Monday. Im more excited than I am at Christmas 😂

I'm waiting for my hairdresser to call on Monday with an appointment. My usual salon has closed permanently because of Covid and she's moved but they aren't open yet. Hoping to get an appointment next week as my fine, limp hair looks rubbish when it's too long.

DH went to the barber this morning and has come back shorn. Apparently it was very slick - wait outside, three in at a time, hand sanitizer to use inside, barbers had visors and clients had disposable capes.
