Lea Donovan, owner of The Dog’s Den in Pembroke, Massachusetts, grooming a dog before the business closed for the lockdown in March. Its grooming service resumed last Tuesday.
After being closed for more than two months, many hair salons, barbershops and dog groomers in the United States reopened on May 25 despite the Memorial Day holiday. Though they are now subject to strict social distancing guidelines that will cause a backlog of customers, businesses owners who reopened said they were glad to be able to serve their customers again.
At Flip Hair Salon in Milton, Massachusetts, owner Steven Pierce said the salon is still figuring out how to make things run smoothly with the new regulations. When customers come, they must wait outside until the stylist is ready. Then when they come in, they must have their temperature taken and wear a mask.
