“Look at my hair. I look like a sheepdog right now,” said Premier Doug Ford last week after announcing hair salons and barbershops would remain closed during phase one of Ontario’s reopening amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
While Ford and so many other Ontario residents continue to lament an unkempt hairstyle, split ends or undyed roots, we will all have to wait a little longer.
But when hair salons do get approval to reopen, it will likely see a very different salon experience. “We’ve removed 50 per cent of the chairs allowing us to have enough distance between our guests and our stylists as well,” said Ray Civello, president and CEO of Civello Salons.
