That’s the way it has always been? SORRY
Covid restrictions required appointments be made. Covid restrictions were lifted in CA on 15 June 21
I live in the Free Red State of Florida and I haven't made an appointment for a haircut is several years. We don't pay much attention to the covid restrictions around here because there are none. I've only worn a mask once or twice in the last 18 months.
We still live in the USA, not the USSA.
