I went to the hair salon Tuesday. My hairdresser suggested cutting it short in case they had to close down. I did. I guess that was a good idea.

There’s gonna be more longhairs around, LOL.

I was putting off my haircut because the haircutter who cut mine about a month ago did a not-so-hot job. My haircutter of the last three years, who is excellent, had moved out of state two months earlier. Don’t know who is good.

IDEA! Cut my own hair! Or have DH cut mine!

Time to get the Flowbee out of the closet.

Interested in what was sent out to hairdressers+ at 7:33 pm Thurs ...when the notice was for 8 am?

Dear Licensee:
This afternoon, Governor Jared Polis announced a number of state actions to further address the spread and impact of COVID-19. Among those actions is an updated order from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) mandating that all businesses conducting “nonessential personal services” close to entry, exit, use, and occupancy by members of the public through April 30, 2020.
]This order, effective immediately, impacts DORA licensees in the Barber/Cosmetology and Massage Therapy fields. Hair stylists, nail technicians, barbers, estheticians, cosmetologists, massage therapists, and shop owners in the barber/cosmetology industry licensed by the Division of Professions and Occupations are impacted.
Updated Public Health Order 20-22 defines nonessential personal services as “services and products that are not necessary to maintain an individual’s health or safety, or the sanitation or essential operation of a business or residence. Nonessential personal services include, but are not limited to, hair or nail salons, spas, or tattoo or massage parlors.”]
]The order strictly mandates closure of businesses falling under the definition of “non-essential personal services,” and not individuals who provide these services outside of a business; however, DORA strongly recommends all licensed professionals adhere to CDPHE’s guidance regarding social distancing. Under this guidance, individuals are advised not to invite visitors or non-essential service workers into their homes.
The CDPHE order also includes previous statewide closures of other multiple business types, including bars, restaurants, theaters, gymnasiums, casinos, and other nonessential personal services facilities in Colorado in an effort to protect and preserve the public health. The Order has been deemed necessary to control any potential transmission of disease to others and to avoid overwhelming the state’s healthcare system.
Licensees should check their email and the DORA COVID-19 Updates for Licensees and Consumers site for additional updates, as they become available.General information on symptoms, testing, prevention, quarantine measures and more related to the Coronavirus is available on the Centers for Disease Control and CDPHE websites.

Neither of these ends well. Ask me how I know.

Hmmm, bringing back the Annie Lennox look. I like it.

just put in a pick up order for King Soopers, the first available time slot wasn't until Monday!

Polis is doing an update later this morning, I'm hoping it's not a formal lockdown/shelter in place order, although in reality, we are already pretty much doing that already - something like a food pick up would still be allowed, of course.

I am also hoping that he does not issue a shelter in place order but think that it will happen. I really worry about a major increase in crime due to the massive layoffs we’ve seen this week. There are going to be a lot of people in very desperate circumstances in a matter of weeks.

If your hair person called and said, "I can do you in my home of you want a color," etc...would you?

I would, but would depend on the hair dresser ---some are germ idiots anyway...passing on every cold
that comes down the Pike. I wouldn't go to them!~
