The BBC is reporting that hairdressers have reopened in Poland.
That makes it the second country in Europe to do that. The UK did it first, but only for Members of Parliament.

Barber shops and beauty salons We’re allowed to open back up in Texas on May 8 with safety protocols they have to comply with.
Last Wednesday, I went and got a shave and haircut. My barber works alone in a small suite so I felt comfortable going to him. We both followed the safety protocols and it worked out just fine. It felt so good to get my hair cut.

Everyone is allowed to get their hair cut.
As long as you aren’t too fussy who does it.

Isn’t it wonderful that we are allowed to get our hair cut.
It’s even more wonderful to not be infected with a disease.

My wife cut my hair in the backyard. And she charged much less than my usual barber, so I gave her a very generous tip.
Just the tip?

Well, at least hairstyle are being kept out of the Morrison / Moore copying “feud”.
Moore has noted that he actually adopted Morrison’s current hairstyle over sixty years ago, the moment he was born.

I can’t copy either option. Where are my options?
What about the Sinead O’Connor option? That way you can use your embroidery scissors to cut up a photo of the Pope.

As soon as international travel is available, I’m moving to India.
Who knew Sachin Tendulkar, India’s most loved cricketer, could also give a decent haircut?
With salons shut during a nationwide lockdown, Tendulkar briefly turned barber for his son – and the result, a buzz cut, didn’t look bad at all.“As a father you need to do everything…” he wrote in the message that accompanied a video on Instagram, showing off his skills.
The display certainly entertained his 22.3 million followers, who were amused, full of praise or simply thrilled to see a new update from his life.
But, by Tendulkar’s own admission, he did have some help: his daughter, Sara. -
I have a cunning plan, my lord.
I have suggested that barbers start advertising “eye tests”
for anyone that needs one.I’m a genius

It is starting to get very warm here and yesterday I was contemplating going the Morrison route. Only problem is I don’t have the right equipment.

Phrasing? Archer, I can say you’re a former agent of ISIS and you can’t say I’m lying. You’re in no position to talk about phrasing.

The Hair and Barber Council, which represents 11,000 salons, estimates most of its members would be ready by mid-June.
The Department for Business has told Radio 1 Newsbeat that 4 July remains the earliest date they can open in England.
Salons have been closed since the lockdown began on 24 March.
Keith Conniford, the CEO of the Hair and Barber Council, says many salon owners want to open on June 15, alongside other non-food retail outlets.
He says: “I have spoken to a number of practitioners I know within barbering and hairdressing and resoundingly they said yes.”

Cool, they can open up just in time for the holiday.

Sure, it’s all right if you’re Bruce Wayne. He’s got a butler to cut his hair. Bastard.
If your butler said no, DavidM, ask your maid to do it. Or your chauffeur; he’s got nothing else to do right now.

Haven’t shaved since I’ve been in the office – so that’s about 10 weeks. Overdue for a haircut too. Barbers are open here; I just haven’t gotten around to it – I’d rather wait until I’m back at work.

Talking of ‘buzz’. I got fed up, ordered some clippers online and shaved the whole lot off myself.
(I rocked a ‘number 2 all over’ for many years so it isn’t that drastic a move).

I know this thread originated from David’s anger at politicians and their mysterious lovely hair during lockdown.
I have to say I’d quite like Boris Johnson to break the rules and be a hypocrite because that mop on his head right now is offending my eyes.
-
It is possible for someone else you live with to cut your hair in lockdown, you know. You just end up with a slightly shit haircut.
So if anything, I think that picture proves they’re sticking to the rules.

Okay, so I had needed a haircut since before this began.
Always wear a baseball cap at work (steel fabrication) and wings were sticking out the sides and I couldn’t stand it.Took out the shears late March (I’ve had a goatee multiple times in my life, this time maybe 7 years?).
Sides gone (right to the back), and I love it.
People really like the pics including my sisters (because you can make long, wet hair look good).The following weekend I’m braver and do more.
Looks awesome and the word Mohawk applies.
Can’t believe it’s the end of the world and I’m looking Road Warrior awesome!But the hair that’s left is a mop. Does not look good when it’s dry.
One of those attachments should solve this.
First one does very little.
Second one and Bam! Bad idea to start at the front.
Eff me, the soldiers (lots) have abandoned their posts!Arrgh! Okay, just accept it and go even shorter all over.
Things can’t get any worse.What the? That little spot at the back was apparently a sign.
Not a lot of foilage between the trees.You can be bald, shave your head bald, and all is ok.
Other than that the world demands a full head of hair (because 90% of the world are bastards).Well, it taught me a couple of things.
How not to care what other people think.
When you are grooving the Apocalypse, don’t fuck with it (and the whole fantasy/reality thing).But I do like the shaved sides.
So maybe not Road Warrior, but Peaky Blinders is cool…4 users thanked author for this post.

I was overdue a haircut before Lockdown started and was enjoying my hair being a bit long for the first time in a while. Nowhere near the majestic ponytail I used to have, but down around my eyes.
Given I don’t have a good pair of clippers and my hair’s pretty damn thick, I decided to just go with it and let it grow long again. I’d forgotten how much of a pain than can be, especially as it’s not quite long enough to tie up fully yet.
I’ve resorted to wearing a bandana and actually, it’s pretty great. Really simple way of keeping it all out of the way at the front. I wish I’d had the self confidence to wear one back in the day.
That said, I’m still getting a short back and sides as soon as it’s safe to go to a barber again.

Whereas I could easily have my hair cut, but still haven’t been. I just like looking more and more like a wooly mammoth.

How do we know that’s really DavidM in those photos? It could be the customer who was ahead of him at the barbershop.
I think this thread needs to continue until we can obtain clinical proof of his Meadows-ness. It’s the only way to be sure.

I do have some, of course, but as our official pictorial chronicler, this is indeed up to Todd.

My local barbers are being pretty damn smart.
Hand sanitiser on arrival, masked / faceshields, numerous anti-bac cleaning sprays, one disposable gown per customer and they haven’t whacked their prices up, unlike some places. £2 increase, which feels reasonable, up to £14.

The first thing they do when I walk in to my local barber shop is to point a temperature gun at me
That sounds like something a Spider-Man villain would use to explode people.
-
-
I sometimes question the accuracy of the temperature guns though as the one at pub quiz last night did show 32.2 c which would mean I was in severe hypothermia, probably dead
Kathy got one yesterday, for work purposes. She tested it on me and I am so cold I am probably clinically dead.
This is an intelligent, highly educated, technology-literate person who read all the instructions and still couldn’t use the thing properly because she has no concept of how far “3cm” is.

Hope work goes well.
