Corona virus in Bavaria: hairdressers and protective measures
Lühr wants to offer more than standard measures. He moved chairs apart and ordered masks. But he also organized plexiglass visors on the Internet that protect the entire face . "Nothing goes through there." This allows his three employees to take off their masks at work. He also built partitions between the chairs. With this, he is certain that he can meet all requirements, no matter how they develop.

Linda Minervino, owner of the Art of Hair Salon in Miesbach, also experienced a rush . "It started when it was rumored that we could open again," says the 47-year-old. The phone has been running hot ever since .
Minervino's employees will also wear masks . In addition, she thinks primarily of the processes in the salon. Customers shouldn't have to wait, come to their place immediately and be able to leave afterwards . "What if three want to pay at the same time?"

Corona crisis: hairdressers with a special offer
The hairdressing will change because of the protective masks . For example, coloring hair: Minervino wants to cover the temples with foil. "Otherwise they are full of color and allergy sufferers get them in the face."
Services such as coloring or plucking eyebrows or beard care may no longer offer hairdressers. The beverage service, magazines and newspapers also fall victim to virus protection. Customers have to blow dry their hair themselves .
Corona in the district: Effects of the crisis on hairdressers
Minervino will survive the crisis , it is certain. Lühr also says that his reserves were sufficient. Other salons, he believes, will be less fortunate: “Some will not survive. When you are not allowed to work for weeks, it is hard . "
Because losses will remain. Customers who would have gone to the hairdresser three times in the past few weeks without a corona break are still perfectly styled after a visit .
Lühr believes that those who survive the break can even benefit from it. The status of a hairdresser has increased . It had become clear to people: "A hairdresser like this is something for the soul."
