Now that Georgia governor Brian Kemp has started to reopen the state, one kind of business has jumped back in with a vengeance: hair salons and barbershops. Those shops reopened on Friday, as the Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) reports. Beginning at 7 a.m., customers started showing up at Peachtree Battle Barber Shop in Buckhead. One customer stated, “I certainly don’t want to spread it to anyone so I’ve got a mask, but I’m not really concerned. If you’re cutting hair or you’re a waiter, you haven’t been working, so it helps get the economy started again.”The Van Michael salons want customers to sign a liability waiver that

Never thought I'd see the day when Americans had to fight for basic stuff like a meal out or a haircut.

How can you wear a mask when you're getting a haircut?

It shouldn't be this way but I start to tear up reading about people getting to make a living again. I'm a lawyer and wish our overlawyered society didn't make things like waivers necessary, but I'd happily sign one when the woman who cuts my hair is back in business. I live in the NYC area - we've taken precautions but they haven't seemed to stop much (of course they can't when the subway and commuter trains still run and you can't move around the area without them). People in NE, IA, ND and SD have behaved sensibly without restrictions. How refreshing that the governments there have earned the trust of their citizens by trusting the citizens to exercise good judgment. The places that go too far, like MI and PA - shameful. Even more shameful - places like Alabama with curfews, when the state ought to know better. If I'm out at 1AM, I've already observed proper spacing since nobody else is out. What do they think, people are spraying coronavirus on doorknobs at 1AM? The curfews are idiotic and shameful. Next stage is keeping our fingers crossed and hoping that Georgia, Oklahoma, and the other states show stable or declining infections. Okay, I'm not religious generally, but I'll also pray.

I have seen some shaggy folks, including my son. Once our stylist, a small business owner, opens back up, we are headed there as soon as we can get an appointment!

My wife was first in line to get her hair done by her stylist this morning. Nor rain, snow or the specter of death could possibly deter her. Then again, life is dangerous and we will not avoid the final reckoning. 65,000 people died of opioid deaths last year. Almost all completely avoidable. I realize this virus is dangerous but the overreaction is going to be far, far more dangerous than the virus when all is said and done.

I've heard people say things like, go on and go back to work. Get sick, since you want to go back to work so bad and risk your life. I say, Oh my goodness. For real?

Poster 3 it's easy! I've already chatted with my stylist. We will both be wearing very fashionable masks when I can get to my salon in MA. I notice our rino governor Too Tall Deval is perfectly coifed at his televised performance each day.
OPEN MASSACHUSETTS!

Poster 8 those are do gooding, virtue signaling, social justice warrioring NAZI'S. I've seen the shots of the nurses attending the rallies to open states back up. They stand there shoulder to shoulder telling the protesters that they don't have the right to open the state up and put health care works at risk.
Cry me a river. Don't like it go work at McDonald's. They are the new virtual signaling protected class. Dare disagree and you will be shouted down.
Not all if them mind you. I have health care workers in my own family. But it seems to be trending now. Great umbrage at returning to normalcy.

I married my barber/ hairdresser over 52 years ago, so I'm good. Of course, she is waiting to see her hair dresser. And I'm with Poster #5 regarding curfews. Our little tin-pot dictator sheriff has the Parish (Louisiana) under a 9pm to 5am curfew. I guess the virus comes out at night and attacks people in their cars, since the deputies were told to stop cars during curfew hours. Nothing is open at night down here in this semi-rural Parish, and the only other living being you're going to see is another law breaking scofflaw alone in his car or one of the deputies. Because the sheriff issued a curfew, the local town police chiefs couldn't miss out, so they issued curfews for their towns as well. We're not going to forget these little Hitlers when the next election rolls around, so they better enjoy this while they can.

Pray that this works out well for Georgia. If it doesn’t, the naysayers will point to it as evidence that none of us has a right to run our own lives again.
If Georgia does succeed, we can tell them all to stuff it and get our hair highlighted again, as is our God given right to be bottle blondes.

Places that call themselves "salons" need waivers. Places that call themselves barber shops don't. I wouldn't set foot in the former.
