More Salisbury barbers preparing to reopen as lockdown eased

Jimmy's Barber Shop, on Milford Street, has already said in an email to its clients this week that following government guidelines and advice, it is "preparing to reopen", with a few changes in place.

Now, six others have contacted the Journal to confirm they are also planning to reopen.

Sweeny Hair, Fisherton Street

Sweeny Hair has announced it will reopen, along with a new safety policy, including requesting customers wear a mouth mask to and throughout the appointment, as well as stating that temperatures of clients will be taken at the door.

Staff will wear mouth masks and visors if required, and disposable aprons for each client.

Disposable gowns, towels, capes and gloves will be used for each client.

An extra charge of £5 will be charged per client to cover the cost of personal protective equipment, and extra time taken sanitising before and after each client.

John's Barber Shop, Fisherton Street

John's Barber Shop is reopening on Monday, July 6, at 8am.

Safety measures include no waiting in the shop, and a face mask to be worn at all times - which the shop will provide.

No beard trims will be available, and each client will have a new gown which will be bagged on departure.

The door and chairs will also be disinfected before and after each client, and the barber will wear a new face mask for each client.

Cash only payments (£13 for adults, £8 for over 65s, and £10 for 15 and under).

"We would like to let our customers know that we are now operating on a appointment system and accepting walk ins if we have slots available, we will have three barbers working every day with 2m between each chair.

"We have hand sanitizer and face masks available to our customers and have only put our prices up a small amount to cover extra costs.

"Our customers will have to have their temperature checked before their haircut and every customer will have a fresh clean gown.

"Our barbers will also disinfect stations/equipment after every customer and the shop will have a deep clean every night.

Laflin's The Barbers, Old George Mall, Catherine Street, Salisbury

Laflin's is also reopening from July 4, and say the shop has been deep cleaned and new cleaning regimes will be in place.

Jeff T's, Castle Street

Jeff T's says it is awaiting for an official announcement from the government. However, it is hoping to reopen from July 4.

In order to keep customers safe, the walk-in service will be suspended.

Appointments can be made through the shop's website. Same day appointments will also be available.

KEM'S Barber Lounge, Winchester Street

KEM'S is preparing to reopen from July 4 with new health and safety measures in place.

Every shift will have a maximum of 2-3 staff members, the waiting area inside the shop will remain empty.

Every customer and staff member will have their temperature checked before entering the shop. A structured queuing system will be in place outside.

Customers will be required to wear their own face masks.

We'd love to know if other barbers/hairdressers/salons in the city are also opening, and with what measures.
