Hair salons and barber shops open again, but with new restrictions

A hair salon and a barbershop in Roslindale Square have posted what customers can expect as they try to get their hair tamed after two months without a professional's care.

Centre Cuts on Belgrade Avenue reports that in addition to staff sanitizing the whole place before opening every day and taking other steps to keep things clean, customers will have to do their part as well:

Arrive alone – Limited space
