Over four months into the coronavirus pandemic, many people are still nervous to get haircuts. Bananas has a solution: Outdoor haircuts.
Two stylists at the College Park hair salon will cut or color your hair while wearing masks in a chair in a shaded area of the parking lot.
“We just drag a chair out to a shady spot and do your hair!”stylist Kat Hellington wrote recently on the HOPE in Hyattsville listserv. “We wear masks and gloves, just like when we do hair inside.”
With business down due to the coronavirus, she added that the indoor salon is often fairly empty, so you can also get a haircut there.
Research shows getting a haircut can be safe if precautions are taken. At a hair salon in Missouri, two stylists saw nearly 140 clients before testing positive for coronavirus. But because both the stylists and the clients wore properly fitted masks (over the mouth and nose), not one of their customers later tested positive.
Outdoor haircuts are proving increasingly popular around the country amid the pandemic.
