As Michigan Barbershops, Salons Reopen, Here's What To Expect.

MICHIGAN — If you are one of probably thousands of Michiganders needing a haircut after salons and barbershops in the state were ordered to close due to the coronavirus pandemic, you're in luck: personal care facilities can reopen Monday.

But when Michiganders take their trip to the salon or barber, they should probably be aware that it likely won't be what they are used to. Several guidelines and restrictions will remain in place to help prevent the spread of the virus, which has been contracted by nearly 60,000 people in the state, according to health officials.

What Can Reopen

All businesses or operations providing barbering, cosmetology services, body art services, tanning services (including tattooing and body piercing), tanning services, massage services or similar personal-care services.

Contact Tracing

Businesses are required to keep accurate appointment and walk-in records, including the date and time of service, the name of the client and contact information. This is meant to aid with contact tracing.

If You're Sick, Stay Home

Businesses are required to post signage at the entrances of their businesses informing customers not to enter if they are or have recently been sick.

Those businesses are also required to restrict entry to customers, to a caregiver of those customers, or to the minor dependents of those customers, in order to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.

Worker Separation

In-use workstations are required to be separated by at least 6 feet from other stations and, if feasible, businesses are asked to separate workstations with physical barriers, such as plexiglass strip curtains.

Workers will also be required to wear personal protective equipment, such as masks. Businesses are asked to require customers to wear face masks at all times as well, aside from when a service doesn't permit one to wear a mask. During services that require a customer to remove their face covering, an employee must wear a face shield or goggles in addition to the face covering.

Physical barriers such as sneeze guards and partitions at cash registers,where maintaining physical distance of six feet is difficult, are also to be installed.

In The Waiting Line

Areas where customers would typically wait will be under an occupancy limit, according to the governor's executive order allowing for businesses to reopen. The occupancy limit is meant to limit the number of people who can be present while remaining 6 feet away from others. Customers are to be asked to wait in their vehicles until their appointment, if possible.

Magazines typically left in waiting room areas, as well as other nonessential, shared items that cannot be disinfected, are to be discarded.

Businesses are also required to mark waiting areas to enable 6 feet social distancing, by, for example, placing X's on the ground or separating waiting room seating.
