My last haircut was a little over two months ago. I should technically get my hair cut after two months (it starts looking a little shapeless at that point), but I usually manage to stretch it to three. So three (at least) it is!</p> <p>I have already been cutting my own bangs. I wanted to save on the bang trim, and since I have wavy hair that is on the messy side, things don't have to be perfect. I have been doing reasonably well, but this last time, my bangs didn't look as good as before. I think that my hair stylist cut them in a special way initially, and at this point, all of that would have grown out.</p> <p>I think that hairdressers will see a big surge in appointments once this whole thing is over. People are going to feel really messy and unkempt and want to get their hair cut off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state/page/2#post-2108328 Tue, 24 Mar 2020 02:30:23 +0000 Echo 2108328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm frustrated that governors had to take actions like this. They wouldn't have had to if people were practicing proper social distancing. I share everyone's frustration, although it is waxing appointments I miss more, but I'm even more frustrated that people need to be forced to be safe.</p> <p>People should have been canceling and providers should have been closing long before they were forced to. This is part of the reason we can't get ahead of the curve. Politicians are waiting for people to do the right thing on their own, and they don't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state/page/2#post-2108315 Tue, 24 Mar 2020 02:12:32 +0000 shiny 2108315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also glad I decided to stop dying my hair a long while ago, but am sad I can't get a hair cut. I was due for my next cut right as the salons closed. I know my hair will be driving me crazy soon, but I worry even more about my local salon and hairdresser and whether they will make it through this financially. :-(</p> <p>Dentists are another one. Had hair appointment and dental cleaning in same week, both canceled. Keep up with your dental hygiene during this time!&nbsp;</p> <p>I am also worried about my local nail salon. So weird to walk by this weekend and see their nearly-always-open place shuttered. I know many of them are supporting extended families.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state/page/2#post-2108178 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 19:17:44 +0000 Anonymous 2108178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My state just mandated another 2 week isolation starting tonight. I have already been home for the past 8 weeks recovering from surgery in late January. Last trim was 9 weeks ago. I have been contemplating growing out my hair on and off for a year, so I guess circumstances have decided it for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state/page/2#post-2107969 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 10:18:24 +0000 Mainelady 2107969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Non essential services are closed, here, too. I am really happy that I decided to embrace my gray hair almost 4 years ago. &nbsp;I’m going to have to do my best to banish the brassy tones that want to creep in. The last time I went to the salon, I had 4 inches cut off. The length was just getting to be too heavy and too much. I’m sure I’ll need a cut overhaul by the time I can go back. Meanwhile, when the authentic me has a bad hair day, I will put on a smile and a hat and know I have done my best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state/page/2#post-2107938 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 01:49:05 +0000 Windchime 2107938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HEREFORTHECAKE, it is indeed a weird time in so many ways!</p> <p>I may have to develop some skill with a curling iron. &nbsp;Right now I just blow dry my hair with a little styling gel. &nbsp;But in 2-3 weeks it’s going to need extra help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state/page/2#post-2107927 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 00:50:13 +0000 hereforthecake 2107927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am possibly either a really well prepared woman, or a really shallow woman... because as soon as I heard that we were about to be quarantined, I got the shellac polish removed from my nails, and got my hair trimmed. </p> <p>Of course I normally get a trim every 2 weeks, so I'm already panicked. </p> <p>This is a weird time in so many ways, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state/page/2#post-2107899 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 23:35:26 +0000 Gail 2107899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're on our second week of salons being closed and I think it'll be another two at least. My hair was already in need of a trim and a color. I'm going to embrace it and try some different ways of styling . I have virtually every appliance known to man so it's time to drag them out. My hair will possibly be completely fried at the end of all this though :)<br />My husbands hair is already a disaster and he won't let me near it due to past bad experiences lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state/page/2#post-2107882 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 23:04:31 +0000 Anonymous 2107882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very sorry about everyone with migraines- and hope there are good alternatives!<br /> I just had my hair cut a few weeks ago, and go 3-4 months in between, so no worries there. Color I can do myself, or the root touch up spray (but don't trust it on rainy days). Nails, same- I only occasionally get manicures. Brows I'm resorting to trimming stray bits with little scizzors. Tweezing scares me :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state/page/2#post-2107876 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 22:20:03 +0000 Style Fan 2107876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Non-essentials services are closed here.&nbsp; That includes hair salons, nail spas, etc.&nbsp; I also got Botox for migraines.&nbsp; I was overdue.&nbsp; My physician sent out an email on Friday saying that she was no longer seeing patients in person.&nbsp; :(&nbsp; I am already having brutal migraines.<br />I am not worried about my hair.&nbsp; I can cut my own bangs and I don't colour my hair.&nbsp; I am concerned about my eyebrows.&nbsp; I have never been able to groom them myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state/page/2#post-2107858 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 19:55:32 +0000 Angie 2107858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup.

My stylist is talking about doing a Roots Challenge. I'm not participating! I'm going to order the stuff you spray on your roots for when I have Zoom meetings!

I think I have a few bobby pins in a drawer somewhere! My color on the other hand . . . I know I will resort to box dye soon enough. I bought a whopping online gift certificate from my stylist, who runs a one person salon and I'm sure is very worried.&nbsp;</p> <p>I must say I am very happy not to put on makeup every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state/page/2#post-2107783 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:50:43 +0000 Zaeobi 2107783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had been planning to go for another big chop before we were forced to start working from home in Oct/ Nov. I thought I would put it off until I got back from holiday in January, but then the virus struck. I've gotten very good at tucking my hair into a faux bob as a result - lots of my old hair clips &amp; slides have finally come out of hiding, haha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107777 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:23:53 +0000 Anonymous 2107777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha - Janet, I was just about to share that too. A friend sent it to me yesterday and I swear I have never laughed so hard . &nbsp;Totally me. &nbsp;I started in on my nails (gel) last night and man, is it tricky and time consuming to file the old stuff off! &nbsp;I feel bad for the woman who does my nails - she's a mostly-single mom of 3 (useless husband) and relies on this income to survive. &nbsp;But it's not responsible to see her now. &nbsp;If nothing else, I'll be saving lots of money on these extras for the next couple of months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107775 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:16:58 +0000 nuancedream 2107775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I've decided to fully embrace the ever growing curly Afro.&nbsp; Normally, my hairstylist buzzes my hair on the sides and I keep the top long. I was scheduled for a 6-week cut on 3/19 but all the salons closed by the governor's order on 3/17 and I was out of town. My appointment has been rescheduled to 4/4.&nbsp; In the meantime, if I'm going to rock a curly Afro, I might as well adopt a more 1970s element to my personal style.&nbsp; Checking out pictures of Pam Grier and Tamara Dobson...FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107771 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 15:11:39 +0000 Carla 2107771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Curly hair hides a multitude of sins. &nbsp;Though I prefer a short bob style with a cut every 3 months, I can weather a ‘grow out’. &nbsp;I’m less excited about missing my every 6 weeks lash and brow tint. &nbsp;The toughest is going to be no ‘body work’ - massage, chiro, physio. &nbsp; </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107766 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 14:59:43 +0000 Irina 2107766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m growing out the too layered short hair cut, so I don’t have any concerns. I’m glad that staying home gives an opportunity to let my hair rest - no styling products, no blow drying. One of those “silver lining “ things Also no makeup, no nail polish. Yes to better skin care, I can now apply heavy, nourishing face creams or masks during a day. It is like life hits a pause button on you. When we emerge from this situation, some of us might decide to be more self sufficient and others would appreciate more the services available to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107765 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 14:47:42 +0000 Kathie 2107765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair will be getting a bit longer, for sure. I was due for a cut on March 13, which was the first day our schools were closed. I’m trying to decide if I should schedule one for mid-May, or if that’s optimistic. Definitely an opportunity for me to try something new with clips and pins!</p> <p>ETA- Jaileeen- That’s hilarious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107762 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 14:39:53 +0000 JAileen 2107762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend sent this: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107748 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 14:19:23 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2107748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been seriously thinking about embracing my graying hair and chopping off the dyed part once I’m able to go to the stylist again. For now I’ve got some at home dye so I can keep my roots from showing for a couple months at least.</p> <p>I hope that no one is going to the hairstylist right now even if they’re still open - it’s a situation where it’s impossible to keep appropriate distance.</p> <p>The lady who has most recently done my hair since I moved was in the middle of chemotherapy for breast cancer when I last saw her, so I really hope she’s been at home and not trying to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107744 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 14:13:39 +0000 cindysmith 2107744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't even get in touch with my Jade, and I'm guessing that my extensions ain't going back on my head no time soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107740 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 14:02:06 +0000 kkards 2107740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i was supposed to get my hair done yesterday, i was grateful the local city (and then the state) took the issue of having to cancel out of my hands....it's hard to social distance when your having your hair cut. as of now, i haven't rescheduled, not sure when this level of activity will be back, not to mention that the guy who cuts my hair is in a high risk catogory and i certainly don't want to expose him to any thing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107736 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 13:46:06 +0000 avicennia 2107736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I’ve given this some thought over the last 10 minutes since I posted, I’ve come to the conclusion that it actually might be fun to harken back to the RATE, Ani di Franco/ Sinead O’Conner look of my young 90’s self. Thanks for the post Windchime, it’s helpful for us to articulate and process these issues! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107732 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 13:30:09 +0000 avicennia 2107732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been thinking about this too, it’s not an unreasonable concern! I have a short pixie and since I like to look polished, I get my haircut every 3 weeks. Two weeks ago, at my most recent appointment, I had the sense it would be my last haircut for a while. I asked my stylist for a few tips for cutting my hair myself. (At the time he thought I was overreacting). My plan is to use a texturizing razor to take the bulk out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107731 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 13:23:37 +0000 Diana 2107731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I was overdue for a cut and color anyway and my hairdresser is closed. Guess it’s time to dig my old hair clips back out. I haven’t had hair long enough to put up since my wedding in 2013.</p> <p>I’m not going to attempt to do my own color. My hair is tricky to color and I don’t fancy cleaning my bathroom afterwards... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beauty-salons-closed-in-my-state#post-2107730 Sun, 22 Mar 2020 13:18:41 +0000 AndiB 2107730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been taking the situation very seriously. Did not go in for my 6 week cut and color last week. Called “my guy David” ( who I adore Beyond words and we get together socially even from time to time) and told him I’d pay him for services not tendered for as long as I could. He’ll catch me on the other end. </p> <p>I’ve been coloring a long time and have been contemplating going silver for a couple years now and I reckon this will force my hand. What I won’t have is David to make it seamless, at least not for a few months. I wear my hair in an asymmetrical bob, and wear it in a pony tail plenty already. I do feel for pixies- and my husband is already looking shaggy </p> <p>Also I have not put on make up for a week. I gotta say I sort of love it. I love products, use a lot, it takes a while to achieve that natural look. May not go back to that either. Although I do put in my brows most days.</p> <p>We will emerge from this changed. </p>
