King County’s move to “modified Phase 1” – AKA “Phase 1.5” – means some hair salons/barber shops are reopening (at 25 percent capacity), and clients are thrilled. Among those reopening: Longtime WSB sponsor Illusions Hair Design (5619 California SW) is reopening Wednesday and started taking appointments today. “We’re ready with EVERYTHING the state is requiring, now the only thing missing is YOU!!!!” was Illusions’ exuberant declaration. They’ll be open this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, 11 am-6 pm. After that, for the rest of the month, Illusions will be open 1 pm-8 pm Mondays and Tuesdays, 10 am-5 pm Wednesdays-Fridays. You can call to schedule an appointment again tomorrow or Tuesday, 10 am-4 pm, 206-938-3675. But before calling, you need to read the salon’s protocols and sign a waiver, which you can find on this webpage.

I so appreciate all the hard work going into opening up hair salons and the like, but I think I will keep my long grey covid hairstyle for now…reading the protocols it sounds like going in for surgery not a hair trim, which is totally understandable and needs to be this way, just not a pleasurable salon experience.

Just as well because for example Illusions is already almost fully booked for three weeks, we just learned. I’m sure other salons that have chosen to open are finding the same thing. (I wear my hair long and unstyled so I can wait!)

  I have been growing my hair out after a botched job at a fancy salon, so I’m glad to let men be first in line. My partner is scheduled for a cut today.

Way to go Illusions. Not an easy task to set up all the protocols to keep clients and staff safe. I am a nurse and appreciate all your efforts. Thank you for being the professionals you have always been. It will be worth the styles you create. See you soon.

Sorry, comment time is over.
