Despite concerns over catching the virus, executives say consumer demand for hair services is still there. 🔐
Despite concerns from some salon owners over whether or not it’s safe, hair salons are getting ready to open back up in parts of the country after weeks of government-mandated closures due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Some seem really excited to get back, and others feel it’s way too fast,” said Edwin Neill, chief executive officer of Neill Corporation, an independent distributor of Aveda products in seven Southern states. “Through all of this, there’s one common thread we’ve been hearing — people want to get back to the salon,” said Elarar. “You can only go so long without people coloring their hair or God forbid, doing box color at home.”
“Salons are going to be open, but in a different way,” said Elarar, who sits on the PBA board and is working on the task force along with executives from L’Oréal and Schwartzkopf, that is designing the protocol. “There will be fewer clients per day, a quick in-and-out. Salon staff are going to have to wear masks and gloves.”
Some salon owners in states where lockdowns are being lifted are opening due to financial pressure, though they remain worried about the safety of their staff and clients.
