They needed a trim, and couldn’t wait any longer. For the the first time in weeks, some Metro Atlanta hair salons and barbershops re-opened Friday. And the lines started early.
The first phase of Gov. Brian Kemp’s plan to re-open Georgia during the coronavirus pandemic included haircut shops and gyms, though not all chose to open their doors.
At Peachtree Battle Barber Shop in Buckhead, customers waited in line shortly after 7 a.m., Channel 2 Action News reported. And at Studio 151 in Dallas, the first appointment was at 6:30 a.m., according to the salon’s owner. But despite the salons and shops re-opening, it wasn’t entirely business as normal. Social distancing was still in place, along with numerous safety measures, including masks for the employees.
Not all businesses that could open did, including several gyms.
In a note to members, LA Fitness said the time wasn’t right to open the doors. “As soon as we see a clearer indication that the time is right, we will notify you of our plans to re-open,” LA Fitness told members.
