My hair salon sent out a survey this morning, describing the hygiene/safety procedures they are planning for when the salon reopens, and then asking whether I would be ready to come back, why or why not, and what I would need to feel safe.
There was no place to pick "maybe" for that first question, so I checked "no" and then explained that I might, if certain conditions were met. If (when) the city of Somerville thinks it's safe--they ordered hair salons closed before the state did, and are generally being more careful than the state government--and the MBTA is no longer asking us to make only essential trips, I'll think about it.
I also said that given the procedures as described, the main risk factor is customer behavior, because a lot of people's haircuts, including mine, wouldn't be possible with the client wearing a mask, whereas the person cutting your hair could do it with a mask. (Also that I'd need to switch to contactless payment, but they're set up for that already.)
If things have opened up somewhat in a month, I'll be going to Somerville to see my doctor in person, but I'm willing to take more risks for that than for the haircut. (Telemedicine is good, but I want her to examine my wrist in ways that require her to feel my hand and arm.)
