The Neighborhood Barbershop In Falls Church Prepares For Coronavirus Precautions

Things will not be the same in The Neighborhood Barbershop, in Falls Church, Virginia when Dustin Foley is able to resume cutting clients’ hair, as early as next Friday. Foley said, “We’ve worked really hard to foster a place that would encourage people to loiter”. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has announced certain nonessential businesses can reopen May 15, with enhanced safety precautions, to prevent the spread of coronavirus. According to wtop.com, "While the profession-based guidance is still being developed, Foley said the basic goal will to be limit customer volume and time spent waiting for a cut and a shave. “All clients will need an appointment,” Foley said. “One at a time, and no extra visitors.” Foley has been preparing for the return of customers. He expects customers will abide by social distancing requirements in the shop. “I think everyone’s eager enough, and willing to make it work,” he said." As per wtop.com, "Foley said he has missed talking with customers while cutting their hair. When he reopens, after six weeks, he anticipates he will be fixing style mishaps incurred during the coronavirus closing. His shop has had an online booking system for years, so he expects the appointment-setting will go smoothly. Northam’s announcement extended the closures until May 15, despite earlier hopes of them expiring May 8."
