I just wanted to write a blog and let everyone know that I am currently offering outdoor haircuts. Gov. Newsom gave us permission to cut hair outside, this industry is really regulated, so it’s been the first time we’ve been allowed to do so. I am cutting behind the salon in the back parking lot. There is an alley on Sawtelle right beside the coffee shop that you turn into. I should be easy to find as no one else is cutting hair outside near me. A couple years ago I switched to all cordless clippers so there hasn’t been too much of an adjustment switching to outdoor haircuts. The only thing is I’m not allowed to do any services that require you coming into the salon so I can’t do shampoos after the cut as I normally do and right now I’m not able to offer grey blending services because that needs to be washed out. It would be best if you don’t have a ton of product in your hair as I won’t be able to wash it out, but a little is fine. Right now I have an umbrella for shade, but am planning on getting a canopy as well. We don’t get any updates on how long we’ll be allowed to do outdoor haircuts, so I didn’t want to run out and spend a ton of money only to have them tell us we need to go back in and cut hair inside. So far it’s been a great experience. The feedback I’ve been getting from a lot of people that it I wasn’t able to cut hair outside that they wouldn’t have came into the salon. It’s nice being outdoors, I did get sun burnt pretty bad the first few days, but so far the novelty hasn’t worn off of working outside and I’m having a great time seeing everyone coming back into the salon.
