3. I guess the question is how bad do you really need a haircut?

If you haven’t cut it since March or even earlier, I could see it feeling really urgent. But at the end of the day is your health more important?

I personally am very cautious and only cut my hair in August when I could do it outside by a hairdresser who was working outside with me and her with masks on and she had no gloves on after sanitizing hands. She also was testing weekly. Now with the surge coming I figure I am not cutting my hair till at least the Spring. She provides me with color and I touch up and color the gray myself. It actually doesn’t look too bad. Even my partner is growing his hair long and I help trim it.

I won’t take the chance personally. Hairdressers/ stylists come in contact with more people than most (and in close contact) and being indoors.....no thank you.

If you can wait Raccoon I would...your Health and well being is most important. Don’t put it to chance. Not now.
