[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t ask other people to give you mani/pedi a, hair cuts, massages, facials, etc. They are at risk and in high contact all day, even if you’re a quick in and out. [/quote]

How do you expect the manicurist/hairstylist/etc. to pay rent and feed her children if you are demanding that no one give her business?

Do YOU have a paycheck right now?[/quote]

[b]Well, I’m a massage therapist. I’ve been without pay since mid March. So my viewpoint is prob closer to reality than someone wanting pampering.  I understand the sanitation and safety  practices  involved for personal services right now. You really can’t perform any personal services safely though atm. The level off PPE, ventilation, and distancing does not currently exist in most spas/salons. [/b][/quote]

New poster. Thank you, PP massage therapist, for doing the right thing even though it's a financial hit to you. My SIL is a massage therapist in another state, also at home now and very worried about her business, but she would say exactly what you said above -- the sanitation and safety practices truly needed for ANY form of personal services just don't exist right now. Unfortunately 
 and dangerously, neither the people posting here nor the salon owners who [i]think[/i] they're "sanitary" want to hear that.

I wish people blathering and bleating about their utterly non-essential nails and hair would understand that no matter how many plexiglas barriers their nail salon puts up or how many bags it uses to cover stuff, the salons are still going to end up spreading the virus. But people posting here don't want to understand that like you and my SIL understand it, and they think that hair and nails are vital. They are the reason we will see spikes in infection and probably subsequent closures of businesses. Selfish and ignorant, and unwilling to learn or change their minds based on science.

Thank you. I really appreciate your response. It was far more lucid than my own. It’s not easy to hold the line financially not being open for massage, but I care about the well being of my clients very much. It would be devastating to find that someone became ill from coming in to our office for bodywork. I miss being that place of comfort, but will wait til we have a more solid handle on safety to return. We need to know more about the quieter symptoms especially before opening massage back up. It’s not just about masks, face shields, and gloves.
