Professional haircuts are becoming available again at last.
But as states begin to ease coronavirus lockdown orders, salons across the country are reopening with new safety protocols, which in some cases means not allowing back certain hair-care staples.
“We’re not doing beard trims, lip waxes, nose waxes - anything on the face except for eyebrows,” salon owner Ashe Bowen tells The Post of the new rules their Denver salon has put in place since reopening on Saturday.
One treatment that has proven perhaps surprisingly contentious for parlors coming out of lockdown? Blowouts.
When Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont announced that state hair salons could reopen on May 20, he included the stipulation that blow-dryers would be banned, as they could circulate COVID-19 particles in the air. On Monday, the state reversed course, saying blow-dryers could be used by salons “as needed.”

Maybe ban Ned Lamont
Mythbusters did a test and found hand blowers just blow the germs around and evenly distribute them throughout the room. This is probably not a bad idea.
“Maybe also ban restroom air dryers. Nasty stuff.”
Darn right! I refuse to use them. Pants work better anyway.
They want all women to be as ugly as democrat women are. They don’t realize that ugly is to the bone deep.
I stopped using those gross things years ago.
There goes the bridal party clientele.
It’s time for beauticians and barbers to make house calls, and let the leftists blow it out their collective a$$.
Fit them with HEPA filterson the air intake. Can seal a universal filter on with duct tape.
I think someone shuffled a germ my way. Time to sue if I find out who.
Waiting for the call to ban air conditioning. So much germ blowing, doncha know. Plus think of all the planet-saving we’ll do.
Totally agree. Public restrooms are a huge disease vector, which is why I avoid using them as much as possible, even before the CV outbreak and the tranny movement.
I like the new ones.
The “ban” on hair blowers by Lamont has been rescinded. The “ethnic” salons pitched a fit, as it’s necessary for straightening. So, in order to not be labeled racist, he rescinded it. Which tells me there was no need to put the “ban” in place to begin with.
Exactly what I was going to say.
Those horrible hand dryers that sound like jet engines in the bathrooms NEED TO GO!
I never use them. I just either use a paper towel or dry my hands on my pants.
I think that the bikini waxes are still OK.
This is just getting crazy stupid. Who sits around and thinks up this stuff? It’s highly unlikely that the virus will be floating around in the air in a hair salon or anywhere else. Your chance of getting seems pretty darn small. especially with all the sanitizing, mask wearing etc.
“It’s highly unlikely that the virus will be floating around in the air in a hair salon”
Surely all the chemicals in hair dyes and perms would kill just about any virus. :-)
“Maybe also ban restroom air dryers.”
They’re the worst! Isn’t it funny how the things the libs have told us are good, now are bad? Like air blowers. And the fabric shopping petri-dish bags.
At least with the heat on high, any virus sucked in through the intake would be killed instantly. Unless they have the heat off or on low, using hair dryers would likely be beneficial.
