If My Hairdresser Wears A Mask And Gloves And I
Question: If my hairdresser wears a mask and gloves and I also wear a mask and gloves.....would it be safe for her to do my hair ? Neither of us have any symptoms for COVID 19.
Brief Answer:
Better to avoid hair cutting.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
It will be better to avoid hair cutting even if you are taking safety measures.
In this current scenario, getting a haircut from a salon is not safe. Lack of symptoms does not rule out the infection, and many of the COVID positive patients had not the symptoms.
Many of the health workers including doctors and sisters developed infection even though they had full protective gear. So it will be wise to wait few weeks before a hair cut or you can try it from home.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
