If you're someone who feels like they would do anything for a haircut right now, you're far from alone.
事实上,商业为一东纽约理发师没有slowed a bit since orders for hairdressers, salons and barbers to close were issued by health officials in late March.
Apex Da Barber has continued to give at-home quarantine cuts to his customers this whole time,according to the CBC.
"Last month, I'd say I gave at least 200 haircuts," he told the CBC under the promise of not revealing his real name.
He said that as soon as the order to close was announced, his customers started reaching out to ask if he could hook them up.
He said that he's introduced safety measures like wearing personal protection equipment, asking family members to wait separately and sanitizing his tools.
Barbers across the city have been using social media platforms like Instagram to advertise their services.
Meanwhile, Toronto Public Health told the CBC they've conducted 124 complaint investigations of hair salons/barber shops and issued 17 charges since March 29.
Premier Doug Ford recently announced anew list of businessesallowed toreopen during Stage 1and hairdressers and barberswere not on it.
Due to the close contact nature of the service, which can facilitate the spread of the virus, it could be some time before they areallowed to reopen. And even then, getting an appointmentwill be difficult.
