What a
thought? For several weeks now, I have had this feeling inside of what it will
be like when the salons open once again. I can imagine salons across the
country will be swamped by the amount of customer’s footfall. All waiting to
stand in line and give us the ultimate treat we have been waiting for.
Tracing our
steps back before lockdown began. Let us face it, we did not see this virus
coming and who would have thought we would have a 2 ½ month break from getting
our hair, nails and feet done. I cannot tell you the number of times I have
looked down at my nails or look closely at my eyebrows and think these need
desperate attention. Can our salons be open soon yet? “Sad face”.
Some of
us are relying on nature to take its course, hoping and praying for our salons
to open very soon and then there is the remaining majority that can’t handle
the rough or extra hair growing look which leaves them to take matters into our
own hands and prefer sprucing themselves up by arranging home visits from their
regular barbers or hairstylists, plus taking the necessary precautions of
keeping clean, wearing face masks and having anti-bacterial wipes handy.
To not
let yourself completely think you are out of options, let us not forget almost
every retailer has an online presence these days so it’s nice to know you can
do it yourself and rely on retailers like Boots or Amazon to save the day if
you need any anything for your hair, skin or feet.
If you
think about it, we can always count on our relatives to cut each other’s hair
such as mum and dad. It is quite cute, nearly every week watching mum ready
with the razor to start shaving off the short grain of hair dad has on his
head. Despite that, he fits into the over 70’s bracket and must stay home for 3
months, he still attempts to stay home and look his best at the same time. I
suppose you can call it extra bonding time with your partners.
But what
do you think is going to happen once the lockdown is lifted and we are all
scrambling in the queue or for the next available appointment with our beauty
technicians and hair stylists? I can just imagine the queues are going to be
horrendous, diabolical, the word awful comes to mind. The shops will be
overwhelmed even our barbers ready to be on point once the first customer comes
in through the door for shape up, shave and cut. Already to step out into the
world.
Speaking
from personal experience, my local nail shop is quite popular to the point
where customers do not even live in London travel from a distance and plan to
be first in the queue before 10 am. Without a doubt, I am certain that once our
the nation goes back to a normality existence, women will be camping in their cars
early morning, standing outside the shop so they are first in the queue or
congregating the area just to catch a glimpse of when the shop owners will be
opening their doors again.
For
someone like myself who is very particular, when it comes to my eyebrows
looking good, I only have one lady that threads them perfectly and she is
amazing. Therefore, my mission is to be in front of the queue as I know she will
have a flood of people wanting to book appointments for waxes, threading, even
facials which I cannot wait to experience again.
