NPHET has now recommended to the government that hairdressers and barbers should be allowed to reopen at the end of the month. This recommendation will be subject to Cabinet approval tomorrow.NPHET’s recommendation comes after the Irish Hairdressers Federation published guidelines recently which it says would allow hair salons to reopen safely in Phase Three, which is due on 29 June.There are over 100 specific recommendations within the document to safeguard staff and customers.

Boggles wrote: » It's not about "feelings". The reason salons got the go ahead to reopen is because staff and clients will wear masks, amongst many other protocols. If masks are mandated for in schools it will be across the board, it won't be an optional measure. Obviously people who can't wear them for whatever reason won't be expected to.

They can be wiped down so less waste/cost, also have the benefit of covering the entire face and eyes. There hasnt been extensive studies on their efficacy over surgical face masks but from a wearers point of view I much prefer them over the masks.

Zahir Bitter Cellist wrote: » Maybe it will be 'recommended' for secondary students but not likely for younger kids. It won't be mandatory anyway, mask wearing wasn't mandatory during the peak so it certainly won't be five or so months after it.
