The Door Salonin Oakland County Michigan opened their doors yesterday and have put in place many safety precautions to keep both their clients and hair stylist safe.
When clients first arrive at the salon they get their temperature taken at the door, then they fill out a form that is sent via text message on their phone, answering questions about previous travels and whereabouts during the pandemic and before taking a seat in the stylist chair, guests sanitize their hands.
Everyone is required to wear a mask while inside the salon.
Hair stylists take similar precautions, they must clean their styling chairs from top to bottom, submerge their hair tools in disinfectant before and after each client, and change gowns out between each guest.
Stylists are working a staggered schedule and only allow up to 10 people total in the salon at a time to minimize the spread of COVID-19.
Nicole Joi, 29, a hair stylist at The Door Salon, where she has worked for the last eight years, said she is happy to be back since her last day on March 14.
“It feels good to touch hair again,” Joi said.
