Salon owners heaved a sigh of relief after the administration allowed the opening of salons in the district after almost two months.

As a precautionary measure, salon owners sanitised their premises before inviting customers.

Sonu, one of the directors of Ananya’s Beauty Studio and Spa, said the salon industry was the safest one as people working there had been maintaining social distancing and sanitising equipment.

He said: “Hairdressers at the salon are wearing mask and gloves. Whenever customers visit for haircut, we wash their hair with shampoo before starting the work. After the haircut, hairdressers sanitise their hands. While doing pedicure and manicure, hands of the worker get sanitised automatically”.

He said there were six chairs in his saloon, but they attend only three customers at a time to maintain social distancing. Even small salons functioning from booths were maintaining social distancing and sanitising their equipment.
