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.
Were 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.

what about the other ambient air that is getting swished around (wind currents) full of fecal matter!
I was typing about hair dryers. Hopefully beauty salons won’t be THAT full of fecal matter.
And while the hand dryers don’t get as hot as hair dryers, I bet the actual net effect of them is not much worse than if they weren’t there.
Those hand dryers are great on a 10 degree below morning.
My hairstylist was told by a nurse to use the blow dryer. It hot and heat kills the virus. It isn’t going to spread anything. So she did when I got my hair cut this past week. Such a luxury!
Big Hair will never return.
The 1980’s weep.
A lot of things I miss about the 80s.
I _FINALLY_ won my campaign to get these things turned off at my company(I've been whinging about ever since I saw that Mythbusters episode). It only took an economy crushing pandemic, but they finally believed. Now I just need to make sure they get taken off the wall and scrapped so they aren't turned back on, ever again.
Pretty disgusting device.
This has been known about hand dryers for decades. Of course the manufacturers try to pass them off as “more sanitary” than paper towels. Note you do not see them in hospitals.
