As Saskatchewan prepares for phase two of its reopen plan, professionals in Regina’s hair industry are readying for their versions of what business will look like in the new normal.
The provincial government announced in late April that salons and barbershops could reopen on May 19. “I’m happy its happening, definitely, but I’m hesitantly cautious about it, which is good, I think,” said Jason Zalusky, owner and barber at Bluecore Barber Company. “Having a good, solid fear of it is maybe going to make us all safer.” Since the announcement, the province has provided general guidelines for personal care services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
