Hair Salons, Barber Shops Can Open Monday In Florida, With Safety Restrictions

May 8, 2020

Barber shops and beauty salons in Florida will be allowed to open with safety restrictions on Monday.

Friday afternoon, Gov. Ron DeSantis tweeted a video with the announcement by Orlando barber J. Henry.

“We are ready to get back to work and make some money,” Henry said in the video. “Getting back to work, we want to be safe and continue to wear our gloves wear masks, book by appointments and continue to keep the community safe. We want to keep one thing in mind, safety is always first.”

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey made a similar announcement about her state Friday.

    All the hair stylists, restaurants, etc. have been put through the ringer, but Joe Patties Seafood Market has been packed to the rafters with ZERO social distancing. 6 feet, ha…..not even 6 inches. Looks like you do not have to follow guidelines in Escambia County, go ahead and do what you want – nothing will be enforced.

    I guess I’m lucky since I’m a guy and I can buzz my hair myself. I think I’ll give it a few more weeks and see what happens before deciding to go to a barber.

    Awesome! These poor people have been put on the shelf for too long! As long as precautions are being taken, I see no issue in this.
