I usually get my hair cut at a place that has "clipz" or "Kutz" in the name, I dont think they take appointments. I keep checking the apps but its always over an hour wait when I get off work at 4:30 and they all close at 5.

Do they have a Roosters franchise near you? A little more money, but better cut and they take appointments. Might be worth a shot if you factor in value of wait time.

We don't have those near us. I have a friend that works at a nice salon that is trying to work me in.

I got my hair cut the day they allowed it. Very small place, I know the owner. I wore an N95, would have left if I didn't have it. I walked in and neither the stylist or her client were wearing masks. Got called back to wash my hair, she didn't have one on either. They said they wore them in the morning, but it was too hard to work in them (try wearing an N95 all day like I do). I was ready to walk out when she asked me to take my mask off to wash my hair, she finally let me hold it on. Stylist says don't worry, I feel fine. Yeah, big comfort to hear that, I guess she never heard of asymptomatic carriers. She won't be getting any more of my business.

Lady that cut my hair had a mask on the entire time, as did I. Granted, not N95 (since not available) but we both had masks on. She easily worked around mine. Of course she had a week and a half to practice on other people in my case. I saw this story as I was waiting for her:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/23/us/mi...rnd/index.html

Then there was another story the next about a second hairstylist. I stopped reading at that point.

I'm fine if others are wearing any kind of mask, I brought an N95 with me because I was concerned they wouldn't be, they're very hard to get, so I save mine for work.

Also the girl that cuts my hair...they all had certificates posted where they had been through a Covid training course and had it posted besides their license.

I thought it was pretty cool of them.

Our local was the first in Cali to allow passive beach use this past weekend. PD put cones at 60' to help people do their social distancing.

I sat in my chair in the back yard. Fell asleep for about an hour, and now I have this funky white line just below my moobs, and one just at my belt line OBVIOUSLY, they gym is open yet.

I'm scheduled to resume my 4-week massages on 6/12

I didn't realize how dark my hair was until I got it highlighted. It was glorious. I feel so much brighter lol.

Are you able to get in anytime soon? Not sure what things are open where you are.

I'm getting a 90 minute massage today and can't wait! I also just went to the dentist but that's nothing exciting at all. Knocking out all the appointments this week.

Nothing is open. We're still on lockdown with no openings in the foreseeable future. Our idiot mayor and governor say that phase 1 might be mid June but Salons won't be until phase 3.

I should have gone the Friday before they closed everything in mid March. It's been 5 months. It's bad...... So bad I may have to consider dying my own hair but I still think the result will be worse than my current state.

I was buying beer last week at one of the little shops near here. Masks are mandatory here in stores. I was at the checkout when a lady came to the door, "do I need a mask?" Guy at the counter waved her in. I told him if he does that again when I'm inside the store I will not be back. He shrugged. So now I need a new place to find Troeg's.

That is happening everywhere. Not sure why they bother putting signs up that say it is mandatory if it isn't. They should just say they request people to wear masks. That way no one gets pissed if that's what they plan to do.

Great news. My wife's grandfather is 90 with dementia and had Covid-19. Zero symptoms and tested negative the other day.

I'm not trying to be downer at all. I do feel that fear and lack of rationale/scientific thinking is winning out the battle though.

I live in the Kansas City metro. Kansas is currently forecasted to have whopping 235 deaths from COVID by August. That's 39 deaths a month in a state of 3M with over 1.5M living in the KC metro area. Projections have varied between 200 to 400 over the past few months. Simply put, I think it's promising to see that in more suburban and spread out areas of the country, where most of us live, COVID is being squashed. That's good news.

My 75 y/o widowed mother who had major back surgery in January contracted COVID from her back therapy PT in late March. She's on a ton of medication for high blood pressure, arthritis, and a knee replacement. She weathered a 103 fever, the worst headache of her life (so she says), and a cough that felt like it was going to break her ribs. She had to deal with this all by herself at home. Guess what? She, just like the majority in this country including the elderly, survived it and she's fine now.

COVID is certainly a dangerous thing and is concerning, but don't buy into the fear that you should live in a hole until it passes because the chances are very very low that it will kill you or leave you with physical damage to your body. Get on with your life and enjoy it.

Oh damn, that's brutal. I do my own roots with Wella hair color in between but would have resorted to some drastic regrettable measures if I was stuck that long. You should go for one of those really cool silver grey dyes & just do an all over.

Masks aren't mandatory in Kansas City. The only place I can think of that's requiring them of customers is Costco. When going into stores, I'd say about 30-50% of the customers are wearing them and that number seems to be dwindling. Most store employees are wearing them, but many have them pulled down below their nose or they pull them completely off when no one is around. Of course, then their potentially contaminated hand re-seats the mask when a customer comes up.

I have a handful of employees that have had to do audits at smaller manufacturing facilities in KY, MO, and KS over the past two weeks. My staff said they were the only one wearing a mask and it seemed like business as usual at the facilities and towns they were visiting, meaning hardly any masks (except for most elderly), no real social distancing, etc.

Numbers in the Midwest are going down overall which is great. There have been a few major outbreaks at meat packing plants in western Kansas and north KC which really inflated our numbers by the thousands, but a whopping 70% of those workers that got it were asymptomatic which is great too. It also makes me wonder just how many have really been infected when the CDC says 40-50% of those infected are asymptomatic and the recent meat packing plant data is showing an even higher percentage.
