I'm in the UK: went to my usual hairdresser at the start of the fakedemic. Idiots in visors and masks sprayed me and took my temperature when I walked in, told me I could not hang up my coat but had to keep it on my knees when I sat down. Then the stylist refused to come near me because I would not wear a mask. Should have asked if her's wasn't working, but got angry and walked out
Tried to find someplace else without success; same Covid protocols, some even charged extra for the spray! Two years went by, my hair grew longer until I felt I really needed to get it cut. Went to a very basic salon that caters for men, women and children. No masks, no sprays, no appointment needed. Got sheared for a fraction of what I used to .pay. Huge relief.
The lady who cut my hair said "Everyone's had enough, time to just get on with life" Felt quite emotional after, finally getting back to normal - THANK GOD!
Had this same experience a couple of months ago. Maybe you are outside England and the rest of the UK is still catching up. Had very little success cutting my own hair (and in fact took a few chunks out of my fingers) so packed that in and just let it grow for 2 years. I just cannot stand all that masks and spray business. Saved money at least by swerving 10 or more haircuts during that time.
What’s this spray you are speaking of? Like a disinfectant spray when you walk in? Haven’t heard of that here in the States.
Mostly supermarkets wanting people to spray their shopping carts before use. But I have seen all sort of ridiculous things; people spraying their hands all the time and on occasion people getting head to foot sprayed with something on entering a premises.
Head to foot. Fuck me. We use disinfectant wipes on cart handles but always have and haven’t had flu in years and years. This spraying people is poisoning. Who would subject themselves to that?
As for haircuts. Highly overrated.
