How to reduce Covid-19 risk at salons and spas
CNN
Hair, nail or spa appointments aren't possible without the close physical contact that increases Covid-19 risk. If you go, these are the precautions you should take to be safe, regardless of vaccination status.
Salon or spa services like blowouts or line-ups, mani-pedis, or full-body massages don't happen without the kind of close proximity to others that increases Covid-19 risk. Coronavirus spreads when infected people cough, sneeze or talk and others breathe in those droplets, or when virus accumulates in or flows through the air. People can also contract coronavirus from contaminated surfaces, but this mode of transmission is less common, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
