We’re in phase 2 of reopening in Belgium, and starting yesterday, hair salons were allowed to open again too.

I was lucky I already had an appointment (made almost 2 months ago, knowing that the possibility of having to reschedule several times was very real).

Anyway, this is only the second time in my life I’ve been so excited about a hair app:-) (The first time was when I visited Angie and Greg in Seattle in 2014, and I had an appointment with Angie’s fantastic hair stylist). But this time I was very nervous too. The only people I’ve been talking to irl, outside of my home, are people I pass outside who are also walking their dogs. We usually do a quick chat, from an appropriate distance, and that’s it

Thankfully my hair stylist runs a very small salon, only two chairs. So it was only her and one other customer today (who left shortly after I came in). Lots of precautions and Mireille, my stylist, was very careful: hand sanitizer at the entrance, everyone wearing masks at all times (I already had on my own mask, if you don’t have one, you are given one when you come in). The two chairs at an appropriate distance and a high and wide safety screen between me and the other customer. No beverages, no magazines, door of the salon open for fresh air and ventilation (luckily we are having very nice weather at the moment;-)

I felt reasonably at ease, and am delighted to have had a trim (colour too)!! Attaching 2 bad elevator photos with the “after”.
